Data Sheet
I n d u s tr i e s and A p p l i cat i o ns
DigRF is used in mobile terminals for Long Term Evolution (LTE)
and WiMax communications, including:
•t RFIC development test
•t RFIC validation
•t RFIC device integration

P r o d u c t D escr i p t i o n
Validation of RFIC operation starts before the handset integration
phase. Engineering teams need DigRF digital serial stimulus and
analysis tools that operate in concert with the traditional RF tools.
The M9252A DigRF Host Adapter module belongs to the Agilent
Technologies RDX family. The module provides the serial stimulus capabilities required for the MIPITM Alliance DigRF v4-based
RFIC evaluation and characterization. A single module combines
stimulus and Rx side capture capabilities to generate configurable
control and data traffic and observe the response from the Device
Under Test (DUT). It allows engineers to work in the domain
(digital or RF) of their choice to quickly characterize the DUT’s
digital and wireless behavior.
