In the days of analog communications, everything was real-time. Broadcast communications and analog radios provided real-time sensory analysis on the quality of the signal being received. Real-time analysis has undergone rapid transformation in the advent of modern digital radio development. As the processing power of the computer world blends into the world of RF, the resulting Digital RF technologies require new real-time tools for development and analysis.
Whether analyzing the propagation of MIMO radio signals, amplifying the latest WiMax or LTE amplifiers, or debugging Software Defined Radios, real-time analysis techniques and measurements enable the rapid development of Radio Communications systems.
