R. A. Wood Associates Software - RFSpecTest

• Test RF components in a fraction of the time it would take to test them manually
• Seven Tests in One, One Software program performs seven tests
• Works for up conversions, down conversions and same input/output frequencies
• Easy to use graphical interfaces, showing "network analyzer" sweep across frequency bands
• All interfaces are "user-friendly," with point and click interfaces
• Save data electronically, retrieve at any time (next week/next year)
• Highly accurate calibration routine assures valid results
• Test almost any RF/microwave component imaginable

RFSpecTest is a software suite that was developed using National Instrument's LabVIEW. It may be used to automate the testing of Supported RF and Microwave components as well as sub assemblies. RFSpecTest allows data to be automatically extracted in a fraction of the time that it would take to do so manually. The tester can set up the desired frequency points and input the power level. RFSpecTest includes a calibration routine that provides data accuracy to 0.1 dB. The eight included test routines work across a variety of frequency conversions. This allows data to be extract from mixers and conversion chipsets.

RFSpecTest can perform the following RF tests:

• Gain Test
• Gain Compression Test
• Isolation, Relative Attenuation Test
• IMD Test
• Leakage Test
• Amplitude / Frequency Measurement Test
• Return Loss / VSWR Test
• Retrieve Trace Data

RFSpecTest can test the following RF and microwave components:

• Amplifiers
• Switches
• Mixers
• RF Receiver Integrated Circuits with Down Conversion
• RF Transmitter Integrated Circuits with Up Conversion
• Variable Attenuators
• Filters
• Isolators
• Couplers
• Power Dividers
• Higher Level RF Modules and Subsystems

Calibration:

• Input Calibration from each signal source to the Device Under Test (DUT)
• Output Calibration from the Device Under Test (DUT) to your measurement source
• Uses Power Meter for more accurate absolute power calibration
