The ME7840/4 test system streamlines the comprehensive testing of handset 5-W power amplifiers from 10 MHz to 6 GHz. It consists of the Scorpion vector network measurement system, a high-power test set, and Scorpion Navigator software. Features include the industry's fastest measurement capability for tuning swept power gain compression and intermodulation, measurements of S-parameters, harmonics, and noise figure from 5 MHz to 6 GHz. The system works in Visual Basic, Excel, VBScript, JavaScript, Visual C++, LabView, Lab Windows, Test Stand, and HP-Vee environments. The system costs $99,225 and is available in four to six weeks.
