New NI PXI Switch Features Solid-State Architecture to Increase RF Test System Life and Speed for High-Volume Applications
AUSTIN, Texas, April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
News Highlights
-- The NI PXI/PXIe-2543 solid-state switch module offers faster switching
and an unlimited mechanical lifetime for routing RF signals up to 6.6
GHz.
-- The switch increases test throughput and provides long-term measurement
repeatability in many high-volume RF production test applications,
including semiconductor and mobile device testing.
-- The switch module further extends NI's broad portfolio of PXI modular
instruments to address the latest RF engineering challenges.
National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI) today introduced the new NI PXI/PXIe-2543 solid-state RF multiplexer, which gives test engineers a long-lasting, high-performance solution to optimize the routing of RF signals up to 6.6 GHz. Its solid-state architecture facilitates faster switching and more repeatable measurements than traditional electromechanical switching solutions.
