Synthetic Platform

Progressive companies in the test and measurement industry are working to meet the challenges of developing an approach that cost effectively meets the test demands of today while preserving the investments of test in the future. Synthetic instrumentation has emerged as the solution of choice for many, and Aeroflex is the industry leader in high-speed and high-performance RF and microwave test systems based on this approach. Aeroflex also provides integrated digital, analog, power and other synthetic solutions supporting cost effective module, subsystem and complete turn-key test system solutions for both commercial and government customers.

Synthetic instruments "synthesize" the stimulus and measurement capabilities found in traditional instruments through a combination of software algorithms and hardware modules that are based on core test instrumentation circuit building blocks. The concept of synthetic instrumentation finds its roots in the well accepted technologies and techniques behind software defined radios, mobile phones and other communications systems designed and fielded today.
