Flexible Test & Measurement Platform
autonomous vehicles, 5G, and military/aerospace electronics
Host systems, custom designs, and full integration support available
SDRs provide a high level of configuration and flexibility, allowing the system to be patched, updated, or completely changed to address the latest protocols. This helps in meeting the throughput needs, integrating with other devices, timelines, and development costs associated with many test and measurement requirements.
Since applications are written entirely in software, they can easily be extended to support real time responses and testing. SDRs are useful during R&D when evaluating the performance and impact of different designs and configuration decisions, and quantifying its impact on observed device performance.
