Software tool supports wireless standards
Keithley's SignalMeister is a free, PC-based software tool that creates arbitrary waveform (ARB) files that can be downloaded to Keithley's Model 2910 RF Vector Signal Generator.
Signal generator adapts to wireless evolution
RF vector signal generator adds extra waveforms, a new power calibration feature and increased ARB memory to accommodate more and larger waveforms.
These new products will be used throughout the design, development and manufacturing processes, and they complement existing Keithley solutions sold in this market such as battery simulation sources, semiconductor characterisation systems and source-measure units.
The first product available in this line is the Model 2910 RF vector signal generator.
Using a number of industry innovations, such as its software-defined radio (SDR) architecture, patent-pending synthesiser technology and unique power leveling techniques, the Model 2910 provides a flexible platform that uses software to adapt as test requirements change and reduces test time with the fastest frequency tuning, amplitude settling and waveform switching available.
