RF test solution from LTX-Credence for 4G and such RF n/w

LTX-Credence Corporation has announced its new RF test solution called DragonRF with below features:
Universal RF ports with optional Port to Pin adapter enabling configurations up to 128 RF pins
Innovative flexible architecture enables lower priced configurations without sacrificing test coverage or test time
Latest RF switching technology provides industry leading settling times
Compact RF generators use less power and space than competitive offerings
Available across a range of LTXC test platforms thus ensuring the most cost effective test capability no matter the end applications
Available with Unison - the new LTXC cross-platform test system software

"The launch of the DragonRF provides our customers with a complete test solution for all of their next generation RF devices. Unlike other RF test solutions available in the market, DragonRF has been designed to work across multiple test platforms. This is key to reducing the overall cost of test to the RF semiconductor market," said Steve Wigley, vice president of marketing at LTX-Credence. "RF functionality is being designed into a broad range of devices. In some cases these devices are standalone RF devices such as power amplifiers, while others are integrating RF with large digital and analog transistor counts," continued Mr. Wigley. "If we had taken a 'single platform fits all' approach, we would not have been able to hit the aggressive test cost targets demanded by the RF market. While DragonRF provides a complete suite of RF test capability for all mobility applications, its' unique ability to be configured on different LTXC test platforms delivers the lowest cost of test for the broadest range of RF applications."
