Aeroflex launches TD-SCDMA PXI Measurement Suite for fast and cost-effective testing of cell phones and RFICs

The PXI 3000 Series brings speed and modularity to the TD-SCDMA test market. It supports all major cellular standards, including 3GPP LTE, CDMA2000, 1xEVDO, GSM, W-CDMA, and mobile WiMAX. The wireless connectivity standards WLAN and Bluetooth are expected to be integrated into most TD-SCDMA phones and are also supported in this single box solution. Aeroflex customers can upgrade and add new standards to their test systems quickly through simple software upgrades as the need for hybrid phones featuring TD-SCDMA and alternative 2G or 3G standards starts to pick up.

Aeroflex PXI test systems lower the cost of TD-SCDMA production testing
The PXI Measurement Suite makes parametric measurements of TD-SCDMA transmitters and supports high-speed alignment and performance verification of devices operated in a non-signalling mode. Applications include high-speed/high-throughput mobile handset testing as well as RFIC characterization.

The Aeroflex PXI 3000 Series platform lowers the cost of production testing of cell phones. The platform provides high yield and throughput, achieving dramatic improvements in test time using speed-optimizing techniques such as multi-thread processing, pipelined capture, and fast-sequence tuning (FST). In addition, Aeroflex’s capability of including test coverage of multiple wireless standards in one box allows customers the flexibility to change test capability without incurring large expenses or changes in their production test processes. The TD-SCDMA Measurement Suite is compatible for use with any Aeroflex 3030 Series RF digitizer.
