Design Deploy Sustain (DDS) Part 2 Blog

In Part 2 of our new 3-part blog series "Design, Deploy, Sustain: A Guide for Automated Test Best Practices" we cover The Enjoyment of Deployment.

 

In Part 1 of the series, our experts covered the tactics required to design a well-defined communication framework. Now Part 2 will cover what your team must understand for deployment. The article outlines things to consider such as:

  • How much test is needed
  • How testing cost affects the sale price
  • Which resources are embedded in the PCB
  • How much time you have to test each component
  • The time to market for your product

New Flexible PXI & PXIe Microwave Switching Family

This month, we released our NEW family of modular, flexible PXI & PXIe microwave switches, bringing highly configurable RF switching solutions up to 110GHz at 50Ω impedance or up to 2.5 GHz at 75Ω impedance and a range of connector types to the PXI platform, delivering flexibility, versatility, and test system optimization. 

These modules allow you to select from and combine a wide range of high-performance microwave relay types to suit your exact application requirements while minimizing chassis slot usage by combining multiple relay and connector types on a single module. Try our Microwave Switch Design Tool to configure your own.

The 4x-890 family is ideal for test environments requiring high-frequency microwave switching, from radar, satellite, and short-range land-based secure communications to consumer electronics and 5G infrastructure.

Features Include:

  • Available relays include Transfer, SPDT, SP4T, SP6T, SP8T, SP10T and SP12T in unterminated and terminated versions
  • Flexibility in topology and specification
  • LED indication of energized switch paths
  • Excellent RF and repeatability characteristics

[Video] A Presentation on Modular Test Platforms

Watch our new Presentation on Modular test – PXI as a Standard versus Proprietary Modular Systems, sponsored by the PXI Systems Alliance (PXISA) and Pickering Interfaces. In this short presentation, we categorize the distinctions between a modular standard and a proprietary modular system for functional test, as well as highlight the differences between PXI, PXIe and LXI as test platforms.

                                  Take a look at the video below.
