zSeries RFIC (Discontinued)

RFIC Chipset Test Solution

The zSeries RFIC is a comprehensive component-level test solution optimized for bring-up and design verification of RFIC chipsets such as transceivers, modulators, demodulators, and RF front-end modules.

zSeries RFIC includes both RF and Baseband IQ signal source/measure functions for the characterization and testing of existing and emerging wireless standards including 802.11ax 160 MHz and LTE-Advanced. Time-to-test reduced from weeks to hours or days thanks to the advanced hardware and software integration of zSeries RFIC.

Key Specifications

  • Modulated signal source/measure with both RF and baseband I/Q signals
  • Best-in-Industry loopback RF EVM (<50 dB for 802.11ax 80 MHz)
  • Wideband VSA (1 GHz) and VSG (500 MHz) for wideband applications such as DPD and LTE CA
  • Rapid integration and automation with comprehensive drivers, GUIs and apps

Applications

  • Bring-up and characterization of individual chipset stages from baseband I/Q to RF
  • SISO and up to 8×8 MIMO testing
