RF tools ease WiMAX signal testing
Keithley's Model 2820 RF vector signal analyser and Model 2920 RF vector signal generator enable users to test WiMAX in any frequency band between 400MHz and 4GHz
When used with either mainframe, the Model 7712 is the only solution of this type that offers RF switching to 3.5GHz for applications like 3G cellular, wireless LAN and Bluetooth module testing.
The companion Model 7711 provides low cost, general purpose RF switching to 2GHz.
The tight integration of these modules in a two-slot (2700) or five-slot (2750) multimeter/switch mainframe allows manufacturers to build multichannel DC/RF test systems for automated test applications with fewer pieces of equipment.
The result is faster test times, reduced rack space, easier programming, lower cost of ownership, and improved ROI on test instruments.
Both modules offer a 50W, dual 1 x 4 multiplexer configuration with rear panel SMA connectors.
Multiple 1 x 4 multiplexers can be cascaded to build scalable matrix and multiplexer systems for a large number of devices under test (DUTs) and RF source/measuring instruments.
These modules can be mixed with any of the nine other modules available for the Series 27xx mainframes (which contain up to five card slots).
Users can create highly versatile DC/RF test systems with a combination of channel count, cost per channel, and RF system performance superior to any other single-box measurement/switch system.
Keithley Model 7111 and Model 7712 RF switch modules are available from stock. Request a free brochure from Keithley Instruments ...
