Overview

Under the agreements of Qualcomm’s Factory Test Technology License (FTTL) program, the NI platform is supported in Qualcomm’s Sequence Profiling Resource tool (QSPR), version 3.5 and above. Use the NI platform to test the latest Qualcomm WLAN chipsets, including 802.11ac enabled devices.

1. National Instruments Support for Qualcomm Sequence Profiling Resource (QSPR)

National Instruments' support has been added to the latest QDART release 4.8.05. This release includes support for 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac. 

To obtain further information on the system requirements and setup, request a demo, or to configure a system customized for your application please contact qct_FTTL@ni.com and reference part number 862003-01.

2. NI PXI Modular Test Platform Overview

National Instruments provides a flexible test platform, which includes an embedded high-performance computer, modular instrumentation, and system design software. Because NI PXI is built on the latest PC technology, the key components of a wireless test system can be collapsed into a single NI PXI chassis, delivering world-class test time reduction by removing the requirement of an external PC to execute test software or perform Device Under Test (DUT) control. Additionally, NI offers the industry's widest selection of modular instrumentation supporting measurement requirements from high-resolution DC to 26.5 GHz, allowing engineers to build comprehensive test solutions.

The NI PXIe-5644R Vector Signal Transceiver (VST) with 80MHz bandwidth and a frequency range of 65MHz to 6GHz contains a vector signal analyzer and generator, 24 channels of high-speed DIO, and a user programmable FPGA for complete customization. Use a single 3-slot, 3U module to configure a low-cost manufacturing test system or multiple, phase coherent VSTs for a true MIMO system.
