The Aeroflex PXI 3030 cdma2000/1xEV-DO measurement suite now supports Revision B (Rev B) of the standard at no additional cost to current licensees. This latest upgrade extends the capabilities of the Aeroflex PXI 3000 series test system to include the fast and cost-effective production testing of mobile handsets, components, and chipsets to the new standard revision, according to the company.

The PXI 3000 series production test system with the PXI 3030 Option 102 upgrade for Rev B now performs the full range of parametric measurements on 1xEVDO Rev B transmitters, including high-speed alignment and performance verification of devices operating in a non-signaling mode.

The high speed and throughput for RF test of Rev B mobile handsets and characterization of RFICs dramatically reduces the cost of production testing, Aeroflex says. Coverage of multiple cellular and wireless connectivity standards—including Bluetooth, wireless local-area network (WLAN), and other standards in addition to 1xEVDO Rev B—allows full RF testing of a multi-mode device using a single box solution.

The modularity and software-defined functionality of the PXI 3000 series renders the test system both flexible and future-proof, according to the company. Customers can individually configure the system as required. Additional standards can be added when necessary. 1xEV-DO Rev B software is available free of charge to existing licensees of PXI 3030 Measurement Suite Option 102.
