There are many applications …<br />
Communication System Panel TS-CSP<br />
is ideal for use in:<br />
• Functional test systems for<br />
telecommunication products such<br />
as mobile phones, cordless<br />
terminal equipment and associated<br />
base stations<br />
• Production testers for products<br />
<strong>from</strong> automation, sensor technology<br />
and telemetry sectors<br />
• Automotive test systems<br />
• EMC/EMI test systems as RF<br />
switch matrix<br />
• Lab test sets<br />

TS-CSP. The optimization of the panel<br />
for use in production systems and the<br />
integrated switching technique result<br />
in an extremely favourable price/performance<br />
ratio per test channel.<br />
Compact integration of basic<br />
functions into modular concept<br />
RF testpoints with signals in the frequency<br />
range <strong>from</strong> DC to 12 GHz can<br />
be set on the measuring devices under<br />
software control.<br />
What is more, node potentials, operating<br />
voltages and audio signals that<br />
have to be checked as part of functional<br />
tests can also be switched automatically<br />
via the Universal Switch<br />
Matrix TS-USM.<br />
Measurement functions for analog voltages<br />
as well as digital signal acquisition<br />
are already implemented in<br />
TS-USM. A programmable voltage<br />
source for analog output levels and<br />
digital output ports for DUT stimula-<br />
Two types of cabinets are available to<br />
accommodate either two or five switch<br />
matrix modules. This means that efficient<br />
solutions can be implemented<br />
even for small production test systems.<br />
The following switch matrix modules<br />
are available:<br />
• TS-USM<br />
Universal Switch Matrix: offering<br />
multi I/O functionality<br />
• TS-RFM<br />
RF Switch Matrix: for RF signal<br />
switching<br />
• TS-USMF<br />
Universal Switch Matrix Fixture:<br />
rugged fixture interface for use in<br />
production tests<br />
Two different RF Switch Matrix Modules<br />
TS-RFM with four or twelve relays<br />
are available for efficient RF signal<br />
distribution. The required number of<br />
