Multiport MIMO Test Adapter

ImageUse the Multiport Test Adapter (MPTA) with LitePoint IQview and IQflex one-box testers for accurate low-cost manufacturing testing of 802.11n (MIMO) products.  The MPTA enables testing of a MIMO DUT with the benefits of both a close-coupled control, fast RF switching, and composite EVM test methodologies. Close-coupled control extend the Multiport Test Adapter into an internal test resource for the IQflex and IQview instruments enabling fast test times. Combining both composite and fast switching test methodologies enables full Tx and Rx manufacturing testing in MIMO mode along with accurate EVM testing.

Multiport MIMO Test Adapter

Supporting the LitePoint test solutions are the IQfact family of manufacturing test programs for support of composite MIMO and combined fast switching with composite MIMO test methodologies. 

Complete testing of MIMO product for design verification, debug and Q/A is supported by the LitePoint IQnxn test solution.
