Software Defined Radio Development & Test (SDR)

Ensuring interoperation of your development and deployment of SDR systems

SDR designs require greater integration of DSP/digital and RF functions requiring consistent test tools that cross the digital-analog divide. Agilent recognizes this challenge and has broadened its traditional wireless toolsets to work across the digital and RF elements, allowing system-wide debugging and ensuring interoperation of your test so you can focus on what matters most; assuring your design will be successful.
