Focus Microwaves - Rapid DT (Digital Tuner) 0.001-18 GHz
Focus Microwaves’ RAPID DT, built on Keysight’s M5000 PXI modules, delivers fast, broadband load pull and S-parameter testing up to 18 GHz. It supports CW and pulsed signals across wide bandwidths, making it ideal for advanced standards like 4096QAM 802.11be.
Focus Microwaves is elevating the capabilities of its wideband active load pull RAPID series with a new, advanced solution. The RAPID DT (Digital Tuner) is built around the all-new Keysight M5000 series PXI modules, combining RF AWG, digitizer, digital I/O, and downconverter modules. This high-performance PXI system provides 4 independent channels per module, enabling a flexible and powerful platform.
The RAPID DT forms a vector network analyzer architecture with a broadband receiver capable of up to 1 GHz measurement bandwidth and operational frequencies ranging from 1 MHz to 18 GHz. It offers rapid load pull testing for fundamental and harmonic frequencies, supporting CW or pulsed signals, as well as S-parameter measurements across multiple frequency bands.
Thanks to its extensive bandwidth, the RAPID DT is an excellent choice for testing the latest high-bandwidth, high-modulation cellular standards such as 4096QAM 802.11be, providing comprehensive testing capabilities across fundamental and harmonic spectra.
