HP 85118A High-Power Amplifier Test System

[ Summary ][ Features ][ Specifications ][ Key Literature ][ Ordering ][ Assistance ][ Related ]
The HP 85118A series test systems are designed expressly to perform high-speed characterization of high-frequency, high-power amplifiers, such as those used in many wireless communication systems. These systems use industry-standard instrument and computer platforms that can be easily reconfigured to test different devices. The flexible architecture incorporates a single-connection, multiple measurement (SCMM) design to optimize the entire system for maximum measurement throughput. The amplifier test software runs on a powerful HP 9000 Series 700 workstation under the HP-UX operating system. HP systems engineers work with you to tailor a standard system to meet your requirements. In addition, HP will develop, procure, and integrate specialized test fixtures, parts handlers, and other customized equipment to optimize the system for your needs.
