This measurement
technology will be used with Keithley's Model 2800 Series RF Vector
Signal Analyzers and Model 2900 Series Vector Signal Generators. These
products combine complex signal measurement capabilities with high
performance and unprecedented ease of use. The Models 2800 and 2900
Series instruments offer significant testing advantages in the areas of
wireless devices, wireless transceiver modules and RF components. By
providing fast frequency tuning, rapid attenuator switching and high
speed digital signal processing, test time is reduced, also reducing the
overall costs associated with testing.
Both the Models 2800 and 2900 Series instruments use Keithley's
innovative next-generation flexible software-defined radio (SDR)
architecture to provide extremely fast measurement speed and which
allows it to adapt quickly to the changing test requirements of the
wireless communications market without expensive hardware upgrades.
"Our Models 2800 and 2900 Series RF instruments are making significant
inroads with customers in a variety of applications," stated Mark
Hoersten, Keithley vice president, business management. "Adding this
technology to our existing RF measurement capability makes our RF
offering an even more powerful solution for customers who need to test
WiMax, MIMO and WLAN devices," Hoersten added.
Keithley offers its customers a range of fast and accurate RF test
instrumentation solutions for the wireless market. With an unrivaled
combination of accuracy, repeatability, speed, flexibility, ease of use,
and compact size, these award-winning instruments employ new approaches
to test and measurement that enable users to reduce test time with less
effort and money. In R&D applications, Keithley's RF test solutions help
decrease product time to market while increasing productivity and
lowering capital equipment costs. For production facilities testing
wireless communication equipment and devices that are faced with intense
budget and time-to-market constraints but cannot compromise on
measurement quality, valuable rack or bench-top space, or ease of use,
Keithley Instruments delivers exceptional measurements for the lowest
test equipment investment. |
