The BRAT RF Test System
The BRAT RF Test System is offered as an add-on option to the BRAT Test System. The BRAT RF Test System is housed in a rack that can be electrically and mechanically attached to the BRAT Test System. The RF Test System add-on has been designed such that when added to the BRAT, a fully integrated Test System with RF capabilities is configured. The RF Test System and its instruments are controlled by the system computer and operate in a totally automated fashion, utilizing VXI and rack-mounted instruments in an open architecture environment.

RF Stimulus Capability
The BRAT features two (2) RF synthesizers capable of -90 to +20 dBm power with AM, PM, FM, and sweep capabilities from 10 MHz to 20 GHz. Through integration with an RF Interface Unit (RFIU) equipped with the proper (optional) modules, higher power levels are achievable, as well as simulation of two tone, DSBSC, DSB, FSK, BPSK, BDPSK, OPSK, MSK, and fast frequency hopping. Accurate power and frequency management is guaranteed through stored correction factors for all RFIU paths and through system level calibration.

RF Measurement Capability
Frequency, power, PRF spectrum, modulation, and noise figure (optional spread spectrum and phase noise analysis) are available on the reconfigurable RF BRAT.
