5100 T/R Module Test Environment • Complete Synthetic Test Environment Hardware, software, processes, support • Optimized for T/R Module Test Test module subassemblies, modules and multi-module assemblies on one system • Highest Test Throughput Available • Proven Systems Deployment 5th generation solution – major customers worldwide • Full Range of Required Mixed Signal Capabilities DC, digital, analog, RF/microwave • System Level Architecture Calibration, verification, alignment • Open System Architecture System hardware and software, TPSs The SMART^E 5100 is a complete test environment for testing T/R (and other RF/microwave) modules. It provides the stimulus and measurement resources required for performing a complete suite of transmit and receive mode tests to ensure that the amplitude and phase control functions meet their specifications. The environment is particularly adept at high fidelity error-corrected s-parameter measurements at very high throughput rates. The SMART^E 5100 T/R Module Test Environment is a member of the SMART^E 5000 Series, which is a complete test solutions environment from Aeroflex. The Model 5100 encompasses hardware, software, test practices and support along with standard and customizable test programs tailored to the specific problems of testing high performance modules utilized in a variety of phased array radars. The unique combination of integrated tests, system calibration methods and greater throughput in the 5100 provides a superior solution for the testing of the thousands of modules required for phased array radar. The Aeroflex SMART^E 5000 Test Environment is based upon the 5th generation evolution of Aeroflex’s synthetic test technology. Aeroflex synthetic test systems are successfully deployed in a variety of high performance test applications including satellite payload test, advanced T/R module test and military ATE. Aeroflex began shipping synthetic test systems for T/R modules in 2001, providing the industry’s highest available throughput and accuracy for testing of T/R modules. The product roadmap has evolved over the past several years from two-rack systems populated with proprietary components to systems composed primarily of COTS components at about half the size and cost of the initial systems. With these test systems, customers have reduced complex module test times from hours to, nominally, 5 minutes for the same test suite. For the very latest specifications visit www.aeroflex.com
