RF Communications Test System KT-RFCT 2400A
RF Signaling & Non-signaling for IoT Testing | KONRAD TECHNOLOGIES
Robin Irwin from Konrad Technologies UK attending Automotive Test Expo 2018 in Stuttgart explains how the flexibility to test signalling and non-signaling in a single test platform provides test coverage in end-of-line production test, product lifecycle (regression) test and service/repair. Technology coverage including IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFI, Bluetooth, Bluetooth LE, GPS and sub 1-GHz proprietary standards provides the ability to test a multitude of IoT devices as well as those specific to the automotive industry.
WiFi Signaling for Throughput Testing Demo with KT-RFCT 2400A | KONRAD TECHNOLOGIES
Konrad Technologies presents the KT-RFCT 2400A with a WiFi signaling for throughput testing demonstration. Robin Irwin, Managing Director Northern Europe, sets up the instrument as a WiFi access point and runs an iPerf server live at the Automotive Testing Expo Europe 2018. The access point within the KT-RFCT 2400A can be used to connect to multiple clients and perform simple throughput testing, enabling feature testing of products for end-of-line test.
We know how to test with RF Technology!
Efficient all-in-one test solution for low-cost IoT devices
The low price point creates a cost effective means for testing wireless communication units, while generating a favorable cost to performance ratio.
The calibrated RF test system has a small footprint, integrating seamlessly into test system infrastructures via a single Ethernet connection. GPIOs control the DUT and peripherals. The test system enables communication interfaces like SPI, I2C, UART and CAN. Simple Go/No-Go tests can be performed in parallel. The KT-RFCT 2400A features a 70 MHz to 6 GHz frequency range and includes non-signaling and signaling connections. Bluetooth signaling standards are supported up to 4.1 as well as BT-LE. WIFI signaling standards supported are a, b, g, n and ac.
The KT-RFCT 2400A is the perfect test system for a wide range of applications, such as Bluetooth, Infotainment, Keyless Entry, Tire Pressure Measurement, GPS and WIFI.
