VIAVI CX700 ComXpert radio test system

Viavi Solutions Inc. has launched the CX700 ComXpert Radio Test System. This radio test solution enhances testing for radio manufacturers as well as depot-based and field-deployed military personnel by delivering all-in-one synthetic instrumentation for production, depot-level and field test of current and future radios and waveforms.

Engineers, manufacturers and technicians responsible for designing or maintaining RF systems and radios often have to use multiple pieces of test and measurement equipment for accurate test and verification. The radio test system is designed to provide a comprehensive all-in-one communications test system that includes 100 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth, high phase noise performance from 9 kHz to 6 GHz, fast industry-standard data transport mechanisms and a built-in power supply for the devices under test.

The radio test system also meets MIL-PRF-28800 Class 3 environmental requirements and has a GNSS-enabled ‘no-cal’ chassis time base, user-replaceable modules and an integrated ruggedised keyboard, touchscreen and trackpad to enable comprehensive system testing in remote-deployed environments.

The radio test system also leverages the intuitive GUI first introduced on the VIAVI CX300 ComXpert, supports native on-box Python scripting as well as remote commands over Ethernet and interfaces with VIAVI StrataSync and Smart Access Anywhere to deliver an integrated user experience.
