07 | Keysight | Transmit/Receive Module Test Platform (TRM-X) – Technical Overview
System Software
The TRM-X software framework provides software building blocks to handle RF path calibration data, measurement correction, system
resources configuration, instrument control, and base measurement science. The test engineer has full access to all system resources
for onsite, local customization.
Software Architecture
–– A system platform permits the test engineer to enhance and
add individual capabilities, such as new measurements and
new instruments
–– Increase Test Engineer productivity focus on test
development vs. measurement coding
The diagram shows the software architecture. Objects in red are
part of the platform framework and can be installed on their own.
They include the measurements science, RF path correction, and
management of system assets. The block in blue is the COTS test
executive and items in yellow are support sequences in the test
executive. The green block is the COTS FPGA DUT control.
–– National Instrument TestStand is the COTS test executive
for the TRM-X platform. It provides multithreaded
autoscheduling for test throughput optimization.
–– Logging of test results in Excel (.csv), XML, or custom
formats.
–– The software architecture provides immediate usability.
–– The test engineer has full access to all resources and
instrument applications for customization. Keysight factory
support is not required by the customer should they choose
to self-support.
–– Keysight supplied measurement objects are written in C#.
–– The architecture is open, allowing other solutions such as
LabWindowsCVI, LabVIEW, legacy DLLs.
Measurement library
Measurements
–– CW & Pulsed S-Parameters (S11, S12, S21, S22)
–– High speed device characterization across multiple DUT Gain
/ Phase states
–– CW & Peak RF Power
–– Pulse profile
–– Gain Compression
–– Intermodulation Distortion / TOI
–– Noise Figure
–– Harmonic and Non-Harmonic Spurious
–– AM to PM Conversion
–– Static and Dynamic DC power
Refer to the Keysight instrument documentation for a
comprehensive list of measurement capabilities.
–– Correction of path effects, with interpolation when required.
–– Switch paths are controlled via logical path names and not
individual switch numbers.
