Software augments instruments for 5G research

摘要

As standards develop and evolve, engineers need flexibility to keep pace as their designs progress and test-equipment requirements change. Software has a key role to play as the standards-development effort leads from models to physical systems. The rollout of 5G technology, discussed in a February article, provides a good example of the complementary role for test hardware and design and test software. Recently introduced applicable software products include the System Vue 5G Baseband Exploration Library from Keysight Technologies and the NI Lab-VIEW Communications System Design Suite from National Instruments.
