Typical Test Configurations Active DigRF bus test configuration In this configuration, the N5343A exerciser module emulates a DigRF device connected to the device under test. It can emulate either a BB-IC or an RF-IC, depending of the nature of the device under test. The N5343A can exercise a DigRF bus and monitor the response. N5343A DigRF exerciser module Passive DigRF test configuration In this configuration, the N5344A analyzer module transparently captures traffic between two devices. This configuration is used during the integration phase to trouble shoot the link and solve cross...
