[Development Case] Development of an RF-IC Tester Compatible with Multiple Communication Devices
Development of an RF-IC tester compatible with multiple communication devices using PXI-RF modules.
Today's communication devices have started to use multiple communication standards within a single product. For example, devices like smartphones are equipped with various protocols such as W-CDMA, GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi, and NFC, with a wide range of frequency bands and inspection items. Additionally, due to the decreasing prices of communication equipment and the shortening of product life cycles, there is a need to reduce the costs of RF testing for a single communication device test. Therefore, Peritec Co., Ltd. has begun the development of an RF-IC tester that supports multiple communication devices, aiming for a price point of less than one-third that of general-purpose RF-IC testers.

basic information
During the development of the product, the following challenges were encountered. 1. It needed to be a low-cost RF-IC tester. To reduce the testing costs of devices, we aimed to build a tester that could perform multiple simultaneous measurements while keeping hardware costs low. 2. Consideration for characteristics. Since RF testing deals with high-frequency signals, it is easily affected by wiring and other factors. To minimize this impact, it was necessary to keep the wiring from the measurement object as short as possible. 3. Support for multiple communication standards. When inspecting devices for multiple communication standards, it was necessary to accommodate the testing requirements for each standard.
