Speed increases six times for signal generators
Aeroflex has added List Mode as a new option to the IFR 3410 series signal generators, offering an increase in speed of up to six times for high-volume production testing.
IQCreator is a free Windows-based software application that enables a user to set up a wireless carrier modulation scheme and then create an arbitrary waveform file for use with the Aeroflex IFR 3410 and Aeroflex 3020 PXI series RF signal generators.
IQCreator supports a wide variety of modulation types and is constantly updated by Aeroflex.
IQCreator with AWGN allows users to easily and accurately add AWGN to any modulated signal without complex calibration.
IQCreator's AWGN feature is ideal for generating flexible and precise standalone AWGN power and repeatable signal-to-noise ratios (carrier noise or C/N).
A precise and repeatable in-channel AWGN is especially important when determining a mobile receiver's sensitivity threshold.
IQCreator's AWGN feature can also add noise in defined bandwidths, as a single interferer on one carrier signal or within multi-carrier applications.
Noise can also be added in-channel or in adjacent channels-on a single signal or among signals in a multi-carrier application.
