Application Case:

A Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) is a test device for electromagnetic wave energy. It can measure various parameter magnitudes and phases of single-port or two-port networks, and display test data using a Smith chart.

The Vector Network Analyzer is feature-rich, known as the "King of Instruments," and serves as a multimeter in the RF and microwave fields. It provides efficient and flexible testing methods for the R&D and production of RF devices and components in industries such as wireless communication, broadcasting, automotive electronics, semiconductors, and medical devices. It is widely used in various sectors including consumer goods, industrial, scientific research and education, and military.

Customer Application Requirements

A large client in North China, a leading enterprise in domestic RF test instruments and meters, has been using multiple models of Advantech's embedded single-board products as the main controller for their RF test series. For their new vector analysis instrument, they plan to upgrade from the J1900 platform, with higher requirements for product performance and stable connectivity with professional peripheral equipment.

Challenges:

Small size, low power consumption applications
Rich expansion interfaces
High-precision measurements require higher computing performance
Stable connection for professional peripheral equipment
Strict hardware design standards
