With the growing importance of wireless communications and the introduction of new technologies, the proper qualification and validation of signals is a very important task for semiconductor manufacturers. There are many standards and large amounts of signals, each unique in its kind.
For engineers working on the development of WiFi or Long Term Evolution, also known as LTE, MPG – K&L Microwave has developed a complete test solution for all LTE/WiFi signals in one box. With this digitally controlled filter system one can create a bandpass filter anywhere between 700 MHz and 6,000 MHz with different bandwidths.
Today's 4G and 5G communications systems with carrier aggregation primarily use LTE signals modulated over different bandwidths, typically 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz and 40 MHz. Filtering is often necessary to reduce harmonics and improve dynamic range when testing the products and to replace the large number of fixed filters required, K&L built this state-of-the-art system. Depending on the required configuration, the DRTA-00014 can replace more than 3,600 fixed filters.
This box has software interfaces for automated testing that correspond to the two hardware interfaces (Ethernet and GPIB), as well as a convenient web-based user interface for devices such as smartphones, tablets and traditional computers. Watch the video to get an idea of how it works.
All units are made to customer request and can therefore be adapted to the specific needs of your project. If you do not need the entire range or as much functionality, K&L also has a wide range of digitally controlled filters to meet your requirements.
For that reason, we always recommend contacting one of our product experts who can help you find the right solution. https://www.heynen.com/contact/
