Quick Instruments RF Channel Tester is a unique solution to test on-board RF channels attached to ADC/DAC blocks of Xilinx RFSoC FPGA. The instrument sends a continuous software-defined signal and/or converts acquired signal into a set of sampling points. Various test setups are supported including loopbacks and tests with external equipment like spectrum analyzer and/or signal generator.



QI RF Channel Tester provides an automated way to test each RF link and calculate SNR / SFDR metrics for each measurement data sample. Unlike to traditional approach when only couple of boards from a batch is tested using an external T&M equipment, using QI RF Channel Tester you can test every your product for manufacturing defects!

 

Xilinx RFSoC FPGAs is the world's only programmable SoCs that integrate high-speed DAC/ADC data converters. These converters support up to 10GSPS speeds providing direct RF capabilities. This feature is beneficial for many common RF applications like 4G and 5G wireless infrastructure, mobile backhaul, radars / lidars as well as satellites.
