Keithley demonstrates femtocell test solution

Keithley Instruments

Femtocell test solution

Representatives from Keithley Instruments are on hand to demonstrate the Keithley-ACE manufacturing test solution for femtocells at the Femtocells World Summit in London, 23-25 June 2009.

The solution features the Picochip PC202 integrated baseband processor and the PC205 high-performance integrated PHY processor.

The system is based on Keithley's Series 2800 vector signal analysers, Series 2900 vector signal generators, and ACE's femtocell software test suite.

The compact system provides high-speed calibration and functional performance testing of Picochip-based femtocell designs.

The Series 2800 has a single port interface version that enables the connection of the femtocell's antenna port to be connected directly to the Series 2800 vector signal generator.

The Series 2900 vector signal generator connects to the Series 2800 so that no external switching or splitter hardware is required to test both the transmitter and receiver of the femtocell.

The Keithley-ACE system uses a minimum of hardware and is claimed to provide a low-cost, high-speed solution for femtocell manufacturing testing.
