Teradyne Intros New UltraWave 12G Wireless Test Solution

(Product News, 24 Mar 2008)

Teradyne Inc. has launched its new UltraWave test instrument, which offers wireless customers 12GHz source and measurement performance, with greater parallel test efficiency to ultimately lower the cost of test. Combined with the UltraFLEX test platform, UltraWave covers the entire spectrum of current and emerging connectivity and cellular technologies.

UltraWave meets the most demanding consumer wireless device test requirements. It offers the widest range of test and measurement capability to cover complex microwave test requirements for RFIC and RF SOC devices, including wireless LAN, Bluetooth, 3G cellular, and new emerging standards like 4G cellular and ultrawideband.

"Two trends are framing the explosive wireless market," says Kyle Klatka, product manager for Teradyne's Wireless Business Unit. "First, rapidly increasing demand for world phones and handsets that support many wireless interfaces is multiplying the number of RF ports on a single chip. Second, manufacturers are combining multiple core functions into a single chip and creating more highly integrated devices to save space and drive down price. UltraWave can handle both trends, as manufacturers look to handle not only new wireless protocols, but also to quickly achieve multisite test to lower their cost of test."
