FEATURES

 

1.

 

The

 

RFAS8810

 

is

 

a

 

programmable,

 

eight

channel

 

test

 

subsystem,

 

with

 

a

 

frequency

 

range

 

of

 

0.8

 

to

 

3

 

GHz

 

and

 

an

 

attenuation

 

range

 

of

 

0

 

to

 

110

 

dB.

 

2.

 

The

 

unit

 

runs

 

on

 

the

 

Windows

 

operating

 

system,

 

and

 

is

 

controlled

 

through

 

an

 

RJ45

 

Ethernet

 

interface

 

by

 

TCP/IP

 

protocol.

 

In

 

order

 

to

 

control

 

the

 

attenuation

 

of

 

each

 

channel,

 

accessible

 

by

 

RS232

 

serial

 

communication,

 

users

 

can

 

write

 

PC

 

control

 

programs

 

in

 

VBScript,

 

under

 

the

 

RS232

 

serial

 

communication

 

protocol.

 

3.

 

The

 

programmable

 

test

 

subsystem

 

can

 

simplify

 

test

 

setups,

 

such

 

as

 

handover,

 

variable

 

handover,

 

and

 

fade

 

attenuator.

 

Its

 

most

 

common

 

use

 

is

 

in

 

wireless

 

communication

 

signal

 

tests,

 

in

 

the

 

standard

 

19

inch

 

rack

 

package,

 

with

 

high

 

accuracy

 

and

 

stability.

 

In

 

addition

 

to

 

adjusting

 

the

 

unit

 

remotely

 

through

 

LAN,

 

RS

232,

 

or

 

USB

 

interface,

 

you

 

can

 

also

 

easily

 

adjust

 

it

 

in

 

local

 

manual

 

mode.

 

With

 

a

 

large

 

LCD

 

display,

 

keyboard,

 

and

 

knob,

 

the

 

sub

system

 

also

 

has

 

the

 

capability

 

of

 

sending

 

and

 

receiving

 

RS

232

 

and/or

 

Ethernet

 

commands

 

that

 

you

 

can

 

format

 

to

 

meet

 

your

 

specific

 

command

 

requirements.
