Aeroflex PXI Test System Boosts Production Test Speeds by 5X for MobileAccess Devices
Aeroflex announced today that by deploying its PXI-based test systems, MobileAccess, a global provider of enterprise wireless solutions, significantly increased the speed of device testing while maintaining the same level of test coverage. Production test speeds increased five times (5X) over a competitor’s installed GPIB-based test system. The vast improvement helped MobileAccess meet the increased customer demand for their products by increasing production throughput.
Aeroflex PXI 3000 Series products were configured from open architecture hardware and software modules, including fast switching synthesizers, optimized software-based measurement engines, and system triggering between the signal generator and the signal analyzer. The Aeroflex PXI solutions improved test speed at multiple frequency bands for gain, ripple, frequency response, noise, and IP3. Further test improvements were made possible by deploying a faster computer and optimized software that uses advanced features of Aeroflex’s PXI hardware.
“The speed of testing demonstrated at MobileAccess would be effective for anyone involved in power amplifier or device testing, especially where increased throughput or additional test capacity are needed,” said Tim Carey, product manager, PXI systems, Aeroflex. “The PXI 3000 Series can easily cater to mixed frequency testing.”
