Download Fast RF Device Testing with Analog Sources

This application note shows how compact RF and microwave analog signal generators can support common device validation and test workflows in R&D, manufacturing, and field environments. Use it to review how source output power, signal purity, switching speed, modulation, and sweep modes apply to receiver testing, RSSI calibration, LO and clock substitution, and amplifier characterization.

  • Test receiver behavior with blockers and interferers
  • Calibrate RSSI across channels and bands
  • Substitute LO and clock sources during development
  • Measure amplifier gain, P1dB, IMD, and TOI
  • Match source performance to RF test requirements
