ZTEC Instruments Introduced RF Test Set Product

The ZT8101 Test Set is comprised of three unique PXI instruments, the ZT8441 RF/IF Digitizer, the ZT8711 LO Synthesizer, and the ZT8611 RF Downconverter. ZTEC Instruments teamed again with Astronics DME Corporation (NASDAQ: ATRO, http://astronics.com) to jointly develop this RF Test Set.

“We are excited to announce this revolutionary instrument set; it is truly synthetic, flexible, future-proof hardware, compatible with 3rd party RF instruments for frequency range extension,” says ZTEC Instruments Chief Technical Officer Dr. Matthew T. Hunter, Ph. D., who speared-headed the project. “Alone, the ZT8101 RF Test Set delivers general purpose, image free signal analysis up to 9GHz. Additionally, the ZT8101 can be paired with other third party instruments, like the Phase Matrix Preselector (PXI-1420) and Microwave Downconverter (PXI-1410), providing frequency range extension to 26.5 GHz”

The ZT8101 Test Set comes standard with

* Ultra wide 150 MHz modulation bandwidth to meet current and future communication protocols including JTRS, WCDMA, LTE, and WiMax.
* Vector signal analysis capability for complex digital modulation analysis including error vector magnitude (EVM) and adjacent channel power measurement
* Compatibility features for 3rd party RF instruments for frequency range extension
* Synthetic, flexible, future-proof hardware
* Image free down conversion for high performance spectral analysis, spur search, and false measurement avoidance
* Full-featured ZSignal Spectrum Analyzer GUI
