How GaN PAs in 5G radios push test requirements
Proper PA development, validation, and characterization are important because a PA often accounts for a significant portion of a transmitting device’s power consumption.
Functional tester covers bench, production, and service applications
The midUTS from Bloomy contains a multimeter, data-acquisition, switching, and power supplies for testing boards and systems. Automating tests — whether for bench testing new designs, in production, or for service — increases productivity but comes at a price. If you’re going to build an automated test system all yourself, expect to specify the instrumentation, […]
