Aeroflex replaces STI1000C test system
Aeroflex
Smart^E 5200 Series
Aeroflex has introduced the Synthetic Multifunction Adaptable Reconfigurable Test Environment (Smart^E) 5200 Series.
This is a synthetic satellite payload test environment that includes hardware, software, test practices and support.
The Smart^E 5200 provides standard and customisable test programs tailored to the problems of testing high-performance payloads.
Dr Francesco Lupinetti, vice-president and general manager of Aeroflex High Speed Test Solutions, said: 'The Smart^E 5200 replaces the well-established STI1000C Satellite Payload Test System.
'It provides the highest performance, most advanced and complete payload, panel, thermal vacuum (TVAC) and antenna-range testing for conventional bent-pipe and advanced communications satellites.' Smart^E 5200 is an integrated COTS-based solution with an intuitive user interface.
Its entire measurement library and underlying measurement and calibration technology have been fully tested and validated with the STI1000C.
The core modules utilised in the Smart^E 5200 have been shipping in other Smart^E applications for approximately two years.
Like the software and user interface, the core modules are production-grade and operationally proven in the field.
The Smart^E 5200 can be combined with the Remote Calibration Unit (RCU), which allows TVAC testing of payloads with as many as 384 ports at an extended frequency of 40GHz.
