Abstract :
VXI has grown substantially in applications from testing in the lab to field support of weapon systems. Early criticism of VXI came that it was only intended for low frequency applications. Recently, developers have been taking on the challenge of extending VXI into the RF and microwave frequency domain. This paper describes the challenges of creating an 8.5 GHz RF measurement analyzer in a VXI environment
