Focus Microwaves’ RAPID digital tuner technology is now available for very wideband communication signals, supporting the latest 5G FR1 and IEEE 802.11ax standards. This new architecture leverages the raw performance of National Instruments PXIe-5841* PXI Vector
Signal Transceiver.

The Rapid VT, utilizes two PXIe-5841 VSTs to make a VNA architecture with up to 1GHz active load pull bandwidth capability. The system solution provides a flexible load pull test platform that can be used to test the latest high bandwidth and high modulation cellular
standards such as 1024QAM 802.11ax but can also be configured for fast load pull and s-parameter measurements. This opens up the possibility of using this system in all parts of the design cycle, from initial device characterisation, to MMIC or PA design, design verification testing and ultimately to product testing in the factory.
