The 7700 Integrated Microwave Test Solution provides RF component, module and system manufacturers an advanced and flexible test environment to meet today’s requirements and tomorrow’s challenges. By leveraging the architecture of the synthetic product family and hardware from the Aeroflex Common Platform product line, the 7700 offers unprecedented capability in a condensed footprint.
The 7700 provides best-in-class performance up to 6 GHz for the most demanding RF testing applications. The 7700’s unique synthetic architecture allows for measurement throughput several times faster than rack and stack. It also comes standard with several built-in measurement, test executive and reporting tools to accelerate automated test development. Many additional measurement personalities are also available from Aeroflex or may even be developed by the end user.
The 7700 provides the most capable, flexible and scalable synthetic test instrumentation with the lowest cost of ownership in the industry. While the base model is fully featured, our state-of-the-art modular hardware and software components allow a 7700 to be configured with options to provide a total measurement solution with unmatched operational efficiency, upgrade capability and obsolescence protection.
