RF Keynote: Trends in Wireless Test Drive Software-Defined Instrumentation
Using parallel processing capabilities of multicore processors, PXI instruments can perform many common RF measurements significantly faster than traditional instrumentation. In addition the inherent software-defined approach enables users to test devices with many protocols such as GSM/EDGE/WCDMA, GPS and DVB-H. Understand the effect of processor speed on overall measurement time and see benchmarks of traditional vs. PXI instrumentation.

Back to Basics: 8 Measurements Made on Every RF Transceiver
Even as the number of wireless communications standards continues to grow, many of the basic principles of RF test stay the same. In fact, many of the measurements from one receiver to the next are the same – despite the protocol. In this session, we will explain 8 RF measurements that are commonly performed on every wireless device.

Advanced RF Record and Playback Applications
Manufacturers of RF receivers continue to push the limit of performance and function in their devices. In this session, we will cover important streaming considerations such as antenna selection and data rates. In addition, learn about potential applications such as recording GPS signals and spectrum monitoring.
