LibertyGT 1111B-MCRT2 COTS, PXIe-Modular, Touchscreen, User Programmable, Multi-Function, Software Defined Synthetic, Benchtop, Automated Test System (ATS) Optimized for Multi-Channel, Real-Time, Knowledge is good! www.radxtech.com Radio Test, Microwave, RF & Wireless Comms Stimulus, Test & Measurement (T&M) Apps Preliminary Product Overview Page 1 of 4 The RADX® LibertyGT® 1111B-MCRT2 (LGT1111BMCRT2) is the first COTS, PXIe-modular, real-time, multifunction, user programmable, open-architecture, integrated, touchscreen optimized, software defined, Automated Test System (ATS) that is specifically configured for highperformance, high dynamic-range Multi-Channel, RealTime, Radio Test applications. The LGT1111B combines National Instruments® (NI) PXIe modules with RADX LGT FPGA-accelerated Measurement Science Firmware and Software (MSFS) that employs a unique, real-time, modular, Software Defined Synthetic Instrument (SDSI®) architecture with an intuitive LGT1111B-MCATS Supports Unique, Multi-Channel Vector Signal touchscreen interface and open standard Generation, Multi-Channel Real-Time Vector Signal Analysis and programmability. The LGT1111B includes a Comprehensive Multi-Channel Radio Test comprehensive suite of RF and microwave T&M instruments and Apps (Applications) that enable a single LGT1111B to replace a dozen “boxed” T&M Instruments. Consequently, the LGT1111B significantly reduces ATS Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), while dramatically improving measurement throughput. The LGT1111B also features unique Apps for real-time, multi-channel radio testing: The LGT Multi-Channel (Channelized) Real-Time Vector Signal Analyzer (LGT MCRTVSA) combined with the system’s NI PXIe-5665 VSA PXIe Module, enables the LGT1111B-MCRT2 to support up to 128 concurrent, real-time, RF Measurement Channels, located within a 50 MHz span with up to 500 kHz of bandwidth per channel (up to the aggregate bandwidth of the NI PXIe-5665) with LGT standard demods including AM, FM, PM, BPSK, QPSK, QAM, FSK, PSK or ASK across a frequency range of 20 Hz to 3.6 GHz.
Replace MULTIPLE “Boxed” T&M Instruments with ONE LibertyGT Benchtop ATS to IMPROVE Throughput and REDUCE SWaP and TCO
The LGT Multi-Channel Vector Signal Generator (LGT MCVSG) combined with the system’s NI PXIe-5673E VSG PXIe module also supports concurrent transmission of up to 16 RF Stimulus Channels (with LGT standard modulation including AM, FM, PM, BPSK, QPSK, QAM, FSK, PSK or ASK), each with up to 500 kHz bandwidth per channel, located within a 100 MHz span across a frequency range of 85 MHz to 3.2 GHz. With its unique modular hardware and software architecture, the LGT1111B-MCRT2 also supports “in-the-box” upgrades that add additional T&M capabilities and substantially extend the systems upper frequency range. RADX is a National Instruments Silver Alliance Partner with RF and Wireless Specialty Alliance Partner designation. The LGT1111B is a member of the LibertyGT Family-- developed in collaboration with NI and selected by Frost & Sullivan for a 2014 Global New Product Innovation Award.
