CN Rood will be present as an exhibitor on April 18 RF Technology Event. In the run-up to the event, we will provide you with various posts to give you an idea of the T&M equipment and demos that you can expect from us during the event. In this blog we share a White Paper from Pickering, and at the event we will present the chassis from this White Paper.
White Paper:
For the OEMs of RF and microwave products, verification through test is a crucial part of their quality assurance. However, the design and construction of automated test equipment (ATE) is a considerable drain on engineering resources, taking engineers away from their core product development duties.
It is the responsibility of the business owners, directors, and other stakeholders to employ a strategy that minimizes that drain on resources while ensuring the ATE produced is fit-for-purpose and that tests are highly repeatable. Also, in the event of an increase in production, it may be necessary to produce an identical ATE later. Again, this must have minimal impact on day-today product development tasks.
In this white paper, we consider the three ways in which an RF/microwave ATE might be designed and built, specifically focusing on the signal switching and distribution subsystem.
