Abstract :
A versatile microwave synthetic platform (MSP) is designed to meet the vast array of microwave and RF measurement applications for today´s and future high throughput production testing. In addition to microwave and RF, the MSP is also designed to meet the fast growing digital and analog capabilities of today´s military microwave & RF systems, sub-systems and modules. Automated system re-configurability and calibration minimizes system downtime when changing applications.
