The IQSTAR 1.8 update is here, bringing a range of new features designed to enhance the performance of your tests. We’ve integrated key functionalities and optimized existing tools to meet the needs of engineers working with RF and microwave technologies. Here’s everything you need to know about this release.
Key new features:
Measurements more aligned with your needs
- Scalar VSWR measurement
- This major new feature enables precise evaluation of impedance matching across various signal types:
- Single-tone (1-tone).
- Multi-tone (2-tones and 3-tones).
- Modulated and IQ signals.
- Ideal for applications where impedance matching is crucial, such as power amplifier design and testing.
- This major new feature enables precise evaluation of impedance matching across various signal types:
- 3-tone measurement in 2-tone coherent mode
- This feature is designed for advanced analysis of multi-tone systems. It provides deeper insights into non-linear behavior and intermodulation effects, key for high-performance RF systems.
- Adaptive averaging
- Available for VNAs, power sensors, and IV measurements, this mode automatically adjusts the number of averages needed for each measurement, balancing speed and accuracy without requiring manual input.
I/Q optimization for efficient measurements
Selective export of I/Q data
Save time and resources by selecting specific data or traces to export, without the need to handle large, unnecessary files.
NR5G waveform optimization
Improved handling of NR5G waveforms accelerates processing and reduces memory usage, essential for testing the latest communication technologies.
Redesigned visualization
S-parameters viewer with SnP capabilities
A complete redesign that allows direct visualization and analysis of SnP files, making complex analysis smoother and more efficient.
Unified real-time and standalone viewers
A single library consolidates all your visualizations, whether you are measuring or analyzing, streamlining your workflow.
