Application Notes
Software tool selection plays a very large role in the development of an RF test system. Indeed, the implementation of the software portion of the test solution may be the largest engineering decision in RF testing. This is particularly true when choosing PXI modular hardware for test. Selecting hardware options such as frequency range, analysis bandwidth, sensitivity, accuracy, dynamic range and performance are not the only factors necessary for success in testing. Engineers must design solutions to handle complex signals, address a variety of standards and optimize productivity.
Whether the emphasis is on rapid deployment of complex RF tests or the creation of maximum throughput solutions, it is likely that no single software package will meet the demands of all types of testing. Instead, a layered approach that takes advantage of both off-the-shelf solutions and the measurements built into the modular hardware drivers will be more efficient and reliable, and pose the least risk to the development schedule and budget.
This application note will help you match your major RF test priorities with the most efficient software tools available, from instrument drivers to standard-specific measurement applications, to advanced modulation analysis and resource optimization tools.
