The new generation of RF PXI instruments from NI and Keysights provides speed, accuracy and flexibility similar or better than rack and stack instruments, but for a lower cost. NI LabVIEW coupled with PXI hardware provides the latest PC buses, processor’s speed and optional FPGA technology, to the most demanding R&D projects or mass production lines.

RF & Telecom Test Systems

WinSoft RF/ Microwave test systems and sub assemblies, are modular solutions typically built around a multi-port, configurable RF switch and your choice of COTS instrumentation. Our testers serve a variety of industries such as military, aerospace, semiconductors and telecommunication.
​

Our testers can be configured to test passive components or active devices with a minimum of instrumentation by including additional sources and measurement equipment. These systems are designed to support the needs of both production and engineering validation.

Radio Testers

Highlights


WinSoft Radio Testers provide RF signals (audio or data) to a variety of radios while offering modular software and hardware test environments.
WinSoft flexible approach enables adaptation to a variety of radio types. Our testers are used for testing radios in the design and development process, manufacturing process, adjustments, repair and calibration.

The WinSoft Radio Tester is based on NI hardware and software and enables programming under LabVIEW and TestStand, with interchangeable modules and space for future growth.
In one of our military version tester we have used a single bay rack with 2 x PXI Chassis which includes:
    • PXI 1045 Chassis x 2
    • PXI 8186 Embedded Computer
    • PXI 4070 DM
    • PXI 5412 AWG
    • PXI 6509 DIO
    • PXI 5122 100MHz HS Digitizer
    • PXI 2593 500 MHz Multiplexer
    • SP200B Switchable Passive Scope Probe
    • PXI 5660 RF Signal Analyzer
    • PXI 5670 2.7 GHz RF Vector Signal Generator
    • LabVIEW + Test Stand

      ​
  • Custom and standard modulation formats (AM, FM, PM, ASK, FSK, MSK, GMSK, PSK, QPSK, PAM and QAM)
  • Accurate frequency-domain measurements for audio analysis (THD, SNR, SINAD)
  • WinSoft Programmable Load
  • Diagnostics and internal radio measurements for adjustments and trouble shooting
  • Test and analyze of a radio transmitter signal

RF Build-To-Print


WinSoft RF group builds RF assemblies to customer drawings and specifications. Our engineering team fabricates your assembly to the print specifications following ISO procedures, and works closely with you to optimize the assembly design by using the best available components that meet the specifications.
​

Each assembly is manufactured in our ESD production facility and shipped ready for use. If required, we will test the assembly for requirements such as gain, S-parameter, return loss, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), reflection coefficient and amplifier stability. 

Our in-house capabilities for design and machining processing and finishing help reduce manufacturing lead-times and  the risk/ price ratio of your project

Our RF capabilities through customers eyes

"Your systems were key to our testing 10 million units a week last week.  I think there's going to be a Peregrine press release on our recent volume accomplishments. That's quite an accomplishment considering it was the first round and schedule was pressed to the limit. Winsoft did an outstanding job and has won our confidence.  Merry Christmas to you folks. “  Peregrine Semiconductors
​“I’d also like to take this opportunity in thanking everyone on your team for their efforts and patience during the project.  This is a great solution for us and I was very impressed with the how it performed straight out of the box so to speak. WinSoft’s  knowledge of the spectrum analyzer was of great value when having to discuss specific areas ... ”. CISCO 
“FYI - We have now worked through nearly all our testing and thus far the switch matrix is performing flawlessly.  We have a couple more tests to go, but thus far we have not found any design issues or changes needed.” - Raytheon
