The new LitePoint Multiport Test Adapter enables both industry standard composite EVM along with fast-switching test methodologies allowing multi-channel MIMO devices to be accurately and comprehensively tested on existing, low-cost one-box test instruments from LitePoint. OEMs and ODMS now can achieve accurate and reliable results at the low-cost test targets demanded by manufacturing.

All cables have some signal loss that varies with frequency. For accurate results, cable loss must be measured and compensated for. To this end, LitePoint designed and developed TrueCable Calibrator to measure this cable loss. The LitePoint TrueCable Calibrator allows chipset vendors, original equipment and design makers, and manufacturing quality-approval groups to achieve optimum test accuracy in a simple, straight-forward manner.

"LitePoint's 'one-box' solution enables us to perform the same type of testing as with a VSA + VSG platform, at a much lower cost. It's more reliable and easier to use than golden unit testing, and more cost efficient than VSGs + VSAs -- with savings greater than 50 percent. While some testing products cost a little bit less, they lack the flexibility and stability of the LitePoint solution, especially when it comes to controlling software."

Featured product: Nanoradio NRG723, Single Chip WLAN SIP for VoIP

As WiMAX ramps to full volume production, reducing manufacturing test time becomes critical. But, WiMAX manufacturing test is still in its early stages. Hence, this article, authored by LitePoint's Christian Olgaard, VP of Engineering and Co-Founder, attempts to show that by optimizing the capability of the device under test's driver to generate special non-linked mode signals, in combination with advanced trigger and analysis methods, it can lead to test times that are many times faster than what is currently possible.

Four different methodologies are used for testing MIMO WLAN chipsets and products. In this RF Design article, LitePoint's Dick Walvis, Fellow, Signal Analysis, and Sireesha Mallipeddi, Director of Product Management, demonstrate how each methodology has its advantages and disadvantages.

Implementing a common test platform and methodology is an important step. But, as Anita Chapman, Business Development Director of LitePoint shares, the real time saver lies in the intelligence of the automated test software that runs on these systems. Consumer demand is driving shorter product life cycles, aggressive product roadmaps, and shorter time to market. With the correct implementation of test strategy, the time from reference design to production can be reduced by 3 to 4 months.
