RF/WIRELESS TEST

The R&S CMW270 WiMAX tester ensures maximum throughput in the production of WiMAX chipsets and mobile stations. It combines signal generation and signal analysis in a single box. Three calibrated RF connectors inthe RF front end reduce test setup complexity. It generates

continuous wave (CW) and orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) signals in line with the WiMAX IEEE 802.16e standard for frequency and level calibration.It measures RF power, error-vector magnitude (EVM), adjacent-channel power (ACP), and spectrum flatness; it also includes

spectrum mask and I/Q constellation functions.The tester‘s nonsignaling mode makes it possible tocalibrate the transmitters and receivers of WiMAX mobile stations and to measure the received signal characteristics. A forthcoming signaling mode will support basestation emulation.

MILITARY AND AEROSPACE TEST

The Synthetic Multifunction Adaptable Reconfigurable Test Environment (SMART^E) includes hardware, software, test practices, and support; SMART^E meets the requirements for testing radar, satellite payloads, and T/R (transmit/receive) modules and subsystems for phasedarray radar antennas. In this

fifth generation, the Aeroflex proprietary synthetic chassis has evolved to accommodate commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) LXI modules; it now supports multiple vendors and multiple industry-standard platforms (including LXI, PXI, cPCI, and GPIB). SMART^E works with industry-standard software and

also features a test library with built-in test-personality customization via user-settable/exposed parameters. It embodies system-level calibration, verification, diagnostics, and test practices without the need to remove and calibrate each individual

synthetic module or each separate subsystem.
