RF and Wireless Test

Today's complex RF systems require a fast and flexible test platform to deliver reliable measurements from prototype to manufacturing. In fact, NI modular RF instruments incorporate technologies such as multicore processors and PCI Express to achieve measurement speeds that are 5X to 10X faster than traditional instruments in automated test applications. This platform for communications test operates from DC to 6.6 GHz with up to 100 MHz of instantaneous RF bandwidth.
