R. A. Wood Associates introduced their latest computer automated RF test software suite, RFSpecTest, at National Instruments (NI) Week, August 13-16. See Press release. The test software suite is centered around NI's latest RF product, the NI 5660 Spectrum Analyzer. Automated testing for gain, two tone intermodulation products, gain compression, relative measurements, and others was demonstrated for amplifiers, mixers, switches, filters, attenuators, RF integrated circuits and more. Thanks to all who stopped by to see our new product! A picture of our booth and computer automated test setup at NI Week. For an overview of the of RFSpecTest, select this link (1.7 MB pdf file).

Above is our booth at NI Week, where we demonstrated computer automated testing of RF components using the NI 5660 and three RF signal generators, using our RFSpecTest software. The current device being tested is a band pass filter. The RF power meter was used to calibrate the whole setup, including instruments and cable losses, to power meter accuracy.
