Satellite Payload Test Instrument
The STI 1000 is a synthetic microwave test system optimized for test-
ing satellite payloads in a factory setting. The STI 1000 can be used
either as a stand-alone instrument or controlled by an external net-
work as part of enterprise-wide factory automation. The STI 1000 is
designed to dramatically improve integrated payload test times and
reduce measurement errors introduced by either the operator or the
test hardware. Through its digitally synthesized stimulus and
response system design, the STI 1000 can easily be configured both in
hardware and software to meet specific user requirements.
HARDWARE
The STI 1000 hardware architecture is based on advanced synthetic
instrument concepts. Through the use of this flexible design, the STI
1000 replaces and replicates several microwave test instruments
including: a microwave power meter, a frequency counter, multiple
sources, a spectrum analyzer, a vector network analyzer, a noise figure
meter and an intermodulation analyzer. All of these instruments are
represented by the STI 1000. A basic STI 1000 includes several stim-
ulus generators and a fast
