Suite tests TD-SCDMA handsets
The PXI 3030 TD-SCDMA Measurement Suite from Aeroflex is designed for the testing of mobile handsets and RFICs based on ETSI 3GPP TS 34-122. The suite works with the company's PXI 3000 series instruments, which currently support 3GPP LTE, CDMA2000, 1xEVDO, GSM, W-CDMA, and mobile WiMAX, as well as WLAN and Bluetooth; Aeroflex says that customers can use software upgrades to add the TD-SCDMA standard to their PXI 3000 test systems.
"Aeroflex is targeting the rapid growth in demand for TD-SCDMA cellphones with our new test suite," said Tim Carey, product manager, PXI 3000 Series, in a prepared statement. "With the total number of Chinese cellphones exceeding 300 million units, the need for high-throughput test systems is vital to manufacturers who need to keep up with the growth in China."
The PXI Measurement Suite makes parametric measurements of TD-SCDMA transmitters and supports high-speed alignment and performance verification of devices operated in a nonsignalling mode. The suite can be used in testing of high-speed and high-throughput mobile handsets as well as in RFIC characterization. The TD-SCDMA Measurement Suite is compatible with any Aeroflex 3030 Series RF digitizer. www.aeroflex.com.
Pickering expands PXI offerings
The new 41-924-001 interface kit from Pickering Interfaces provides a seamless connection between a PC's PCIe (PCI Express) bus and a PXI chassis backplane. The kit contains a single-lane PCIe card, a connecting lead, and a PXI module for insertion into Slot 1 of any PXI chassis; it is an alternative to the company's 41-921-001-KIT, which uses a PCI slot rather than a PCIe slot in the PC.
The company has also announced the 40-873 (50-Ω) and 40-833 (75-Ω) multiplexer modules that feature one or two 4:1 multiplexers with terminated inputs in a single PXI slot. The modules are designed for switching applications up to 3 GHz.
Pickering's new 40-555 solid-state 8×2 switch matrix is a two-slot PXI module that features a 30-A current rating and high inrush current tolerance. In addition, the company has added the 40-160-003 to its 40-160 switch matrix line. The single-slot PXI module supports 20 SPST 10-A relays and is suited for switching DC signals up to 30 V and AC voltages to 250 V. www.pickeringtest.com.
