September 16, 2014. Aeroflex Inc. today chose Autotest to announce a 26.5-GHz high-frequency extension for the 7700 Integrated Microwave Test System. The 7700 frequency extension increases the frequency coverage from 6 GHz to 26.5 GHz, which will address the growing need for a compact, economical, high-frequency bench-top microwave test system.
“Our customers have consistently requested an extended-frequency version of the 7700 system. This new product capability will provide our customers with the frequency range they requested as well as the same Aeroflex measurement quality they have trusted for more than 15 years,” said Keith Johns, product marketing manager for Aeroflex.
The 7700’s synthetic architecture and building-block modular design allows for measurement throughput faster than conventional instrument-based systems while also providing improved flexibility and enhanced configuration options. The 7700 also comes standard with several built-in measurement functions, test executive software, and reporting tools to accelerate automated test development.
