Software measurement suite
GSM/EDGE AEROFLEX

A complete suite of measurement functions for high speed precision alignment and RF parametric analysis of GSM and EDGE mobile transceivers in conjunction with any 3030 series PXI RF Digitizer module.

The measurement suite provides user friendly interfaces for manual operation within PXI Studio and application programming in C, VB and .NET.

* TX average power and burst power profile
* GMSK phase error (peak and RMS)
* 8PSK EVM
* 8PSK origin offset suppression
* 95th Percentile EVM
* Frequency error
* Output radio frequency spectrum
* Reference Sensitivity (BER, BER II, RBER II & FER)
* Fast Sequence Tuning (FST)

The GSM/EDGE measurement suite includes APIs for use in application software development environments such as LabVIEW, LabWindows CVI, Visual C, Visual Basic and C++. Together with any 3030 Series RF digitizers it enables precision characterization and alignment of GSM/EDGE MS (Mobile Station) transmitters.

The GSM/EDGE measurement suite was designed with efficiencies in mobile handset testing in mind. The measurement and analysis libraries enable the transfer of Aeroflex PXI 3000's high speed, performance and flexibility benefits to the production floor. Aeroflex's PXI based RF test systems are used in the development and manufacturing of mobile radio transmitters, sub-modules and RFICs (radio frequency integrated circuits).
