New features and functionality for LabVIEW test automation software
New updates to the LabVIEW 2019 and LabVIEW NXG programs are said to increase developer productivity through improved visibility in the IDE, powerful enhancements in debugging, and new datatypes to the G-language. Additionally, LabVIEW 2019 addresses a critical pain point for engineers: managing dependencies and versioning with fragmented, non-standardized methods, which perpetuate as challenges in […]
New mmWave test setup designed to accelerate 5G commercialization
A mmWave Vector Signal Transceiver (VST) is designed to address the test challenges of 5G mmWave RFIC transceivers and power amplifiers. NI’s solutions use the mmWave VST, which combines an RF signal generator, an RF signal analyzer and integrated switching with 1 GHz of instantaneous bandwidth at frequencies up to 44 GHz. In addition to […]
Instrumentation, design tools to play a strategic role in robotic design
The design of robotics systems provides a unique engineering challenge and one that requires the right design tools for the job, says Bradley Sauln, Onshape Technical Services Engineer. He says much robotic design work has converged around one class of product – CAD systems. But traditional CAD is just the beginning. Modern design shops are […]
Vector network analyzers get modulation distortion app
The optional S93070xB Modulation Distortion application is now available for the PNA-X Vector Network Analyzer, which delivers a wide system dynamic range resulting in a lowe residual error vector magnitude (EVM). Traditional test setups, especially for 5G power amplifiers and beamformer integrated circuit design, verification and production, are complex and can introduce a wide range […]
