RFIC ATE System
High Repeatablility, 3+ rack TIMs, Legacy Application Testing
Part Number: RI7100A
Customizing the RI7100A involves considering the following:
The number and type of power supplies needed.
The number and type of RF signals that need to be applied.
The power level of the RF signals to be applied.
The expected device RF output power.
The number and type of any digital control to be applied.

Measurement Capability
The RI 7100A IFIC/RFIC ATE is a fully automatic IFIC/RFIC test system designed to test devices as simple as two port LNAs to integrated RF receivers with multiple frequency conversions, IQ modulators, frequency dividers, phase detectors, RSSI circuits, multiple gain steps, T/R switches, multiple biases, multiple I/O ports, and more.
RF spurious level and frequency measurements of known signals to -75 dBc are made in less than 40 msec with the RI System Receiver.
RI 7100A IFIC/RFIC ATE General Information
The RI 7100A offers a flexible and expandable measurement platform. As your requirements expand and change, the RI 7100A will expand in performance and feature set to meet the new requirements.
The RI Programmable DUT Controller provides the DC & pulsed bias, analog stimulus & measurement and the digital interface between the DUT and the System Computer. The RI DUT Controller is custom configured to each user's specific needs. Roos Instruments offers several plug-in application functions including:
- High Current Bias Supply Lines: 0 to 10 Vdc; 3.5 Amps max. per line, 35 us min pulse width.
- 6 Amp Current Bias Supply Lines: 0 to 10 Vdc; 6 Amps max per line, 35 us min pulse width.
- Medium Current Bias Supply Lines: < + 12 Vdc; 200 mA max. per line.
- Device Power Lines 1 - 8: 8 lines to 4 States (2 Medium Current Bias Supplies, an open or gnd.)
- Device Power Lines 9 thru 16: 8 lines to 3 States (2 Medium Current Bias Supplies or an open.)
- DUT Control Lines: Bi-State Levels, < + 10 Vdc.
- Add Current Measurement Capability to the DUT Control Lines: Adds VCCs 7 and 8.
- DC Voltage Measurement Lines: 12 bit Resolution.
- Low Noise Clock Output: Divides RF Input Signal by 64, Buffers & Outputs the Resulting Signal.
- Base Band Digitizer: Measures S/N, SINAD, Distortion, Rise/Fall, Timing, etc.
- Dual Output Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer: 2 Analog & 2 Digital Outputs, DC to 10 MHz.
- Digital Frequency Counter : Measures BER and counts Digital Waveform Pulses to >1 Megabit rates.
