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.
Monitors get support for radio testing
Aeroflex has announced two new communications service monitors, the IFR2945B and IFR2948B, which will bring expanded capability and ease of use to analog radio testing.
Occupying just three slots when associated with the Aeroflex 3010 RF synthesizer, these new modules provide wideband coverage while saving valuable system real estate and cost.
The 3025 digital RF signal generator follows the recent introduction of the 3020A digital RF signal generator, which introduced new features for Aeroflex's PXI RF signal generators that improve range, speed, accuracy and flexibility for RF manufacturing and design verification.
The 3010 RF synthesizer and the 3025 form a compact 3U-high precision digital RF signal generator complete with integrated dual-channel AWG that occupies just three PXI slots.

Frequency synthesizers with high speed, low noise
Aeroflex Incorporated has made design enhancements to its fast switching frequency synthesizers, the 2500 series.
The frequency range of the 3025 has been extended to 6 GHz to cover WLAN and WiMax frequencies.
Modulation modes are extended to include internal AM/FM and external IQ vector modulation.
List Mode and arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) file sequencing modes enable the user to set frequency, level and AWG waveforms much faster and with greater flexibility, especially important in high-speed manufacturing.
AWG sequencing enables long files to be generated and a new option that offers analog IQ inputs and outputs allows the Aeroflex 3025 to be used for baseband stimulus generation as well as modulated RF generation.
An external TTL trigger input adds to the broad range of available trigger sources.
The 3025 digital RF signal generator is an essential component within any automated development or manufacturing RF test system.
Designed to meet the needs of advanced digital communications standards, the 3025 digital RF signal generator can be used for measurement or system emulation for WLAN, WiMax and cellular communications, as well as applications in satellite and terrestrial TV broadcasting and military communications.
The 3035 RF digitizer is complementary to the 3025; it provides wideband high dynamic range A to D conversion of RF input signals up to 6 GHz.
Together with the 3010 RF digitizer and measurement application software, the system provides vector signal analysis of RF signals.
Well suited for manufacturing or design verification for RF systems, the Aeroflex 3035 RF digitizer now adds extended digitizer bandwidth up to 6 GHz to cover emerging communications standards.
Pricing and Availability The Aeroflex 3025 digital RF signal generator is priced at U.S.
$15,000.
The Aeroflex 3035 RF digitizer is priced at U.S.
$18,000.
Delivery for the 3025 and the 3035 is initially eight weeks upon receipt of order.
