RF Measurement Capability Available For SOC Platform
Port Scale RF is a new, scalable RF measurement capability available for the V93000 SOC Test Platform. Wireless communications and wireless-enabled devices have proliferated, requiring high throughput testing of complex RF devices. Port Scale RF addresses this challenge.
The number of RF ports on an IC is increasing because multiple radios are being integrated into a single IC and also because multiple antennas and associated electronics are being used both for receiving and transmitting (MIMO). Multisite test further multiplies the number of required RF ports.
The Port Scale RF solution provides 12, 24, or 48 ports totally within the test head. Port Scale RF comprises an RF source card, an RF front-end card, an RF interface, a multiband audio/video MB AV8 card, and a 48-port RF calibration kit.
