Aeroflex 7700 integrated microwave test system

Aeroflex has available the 7700 integrated microwave test system, a complete turnkey automated test equipment (ATE) system-in-a-box designed for rapid production testing of microwave and RF components and modules.

It is a bench-sized instrument that uses synthetic architecture and common platform hardware to achieve measurement throughput.

Using production test sequences provided by the base model, the system provides the functionality and measurements of a vector signal generator, spectrum analyser, vector network analyser, oscilloscope, power meter, frequency counter, noise figure meter and a phase noise analyser.

The system has a frequency range of 1 MHz to 6 GHz, with options up to 32 GHz. It includes a complete measurement suite including S-parameters for full characterisation of devices such as low-noise amplifiers (LNA), variable crystal oscillators (VCO) and transceiver modules.

Key specifications include - RF modulation bandwidth: 90 MHz; frequency switching times: <1 ms; phase noise (2 GHz, 20 kHz offset): -115 dBm; residual noise floor: <-120 dBm; dynamic range: >100 dB.
