Aeroflex adds PXI RF instruments
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 9/1/2005
Building on the company's PXI 3000 series of RF test systems, Aeroflex has unveiled two new PXI modules and a new software suite that expands the range of use, speed of operation, accuracy, and flexibility of its PXI test systems. The new products are the 3020A 2.7-GHz digital RF signal generator, the 3030A 3-GHz RF digitizer with 33-MHz bandwidth, and a cdma2000 reverse-link software measurement library.
The Aeroflex 3020A combines with the Aeroflex 3010 RF synthesizer to form a 3U digital RF signal generator with integrated dual-channel AWG that occupies three PXI slots. Similarly, the 3030A RF digitizer and 3010 RF synthesizer combine to make a 3U RF digitizer that also occupies three PXI slots.
The new measurement software for the Aeroflex 3000 series, the cdma2000 Measurement Suite, is an Active X control-software measurement library used in conjunction with the 3030 RF digitizer to provide measurement functions for power, spectrum, and modulation analysis of cdmaOne and cdma2000 reverse-link transmissions.
Prices: 3020A digital RF signal generator—$8596; 3030A RF digitizer—$12,940; cdma2000 Measurement Suite—$3893. Aeroflex, www.aeroflexstore.com.
