A Week's Worth of Tips for Selecting PXI Test Equipment for Wireless Applications

摘要

With the increased complexity in RF components used in such wireless products as cellular phones, tablets, and wireless routers, design engineers are under increasing pressure to add more functionality while keeping design and manufacturing costs low. Selection of test equipment/ software can impact the performance and efficiency of the wireless device design as well as the cost to produce the device. The following paragraphs outline the three common challenges designer are facing, and then provide a week's worth of tips to help design validation and manufacturing test teams select hardware and software that will accelerate design, increase test throughput, and ultimately lower the cost of test.
