Description
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Rover RCRF is CEI’s latest reconfigurable RF board with design, simulation, and synthesis software using NI AWRs VSS and Microwave Office. Quickly create an up converter, down converter, Heterodyne amplifier, or a variety of RF systems using this reconfigurable RF system demonstrator. In minutes, you can design a circuit, simulate it, realize it in hardware, and see how it performs on your lab bench. Then quickly redesign it however you’d like: try a different filter, add an amplifier block or notch out a spur, and see instant results. Choose the Rover-RCRF for your next RF design!
Not quite what you need? Need a custom version? CEI can tailor an RCRF solution for you in 2 to 4 weeks. Academic bundles available with NI AWR Microwave Office included.

Applications
- Wireless communications systems
- Test and measurement
- Automated Test Equipment (ATE)
- Proprietary wired/wireless communication systems
- Frequency planning
- Radar systems
- EW, ECM, ESM and other RF and microwave systems
Benefits
- Reconfigurable RF system demonstrator lets you specify your RF circuit, simulate it, then instantly configure it in hardware.
- Connect to a signal generator and spectrum analyzer, then change your design and see the RF effects in real time.
- Design is simple — drag desired components from the component library and drop them onto the screen.
- Design Check software (included) lets you know whether the device can create the system you’ve drawn.
- Design, simulate, synthesize and configure the device without ever leaving AWR’s VSS window.
- Save your designs to share or work with later.
- Hardware device can be programmed and reprogrammed as often as you like.
- Device configuration is non-volatile even when removed from the design workstation. The device maintains your design when powered back on.
- Design-to-device fidelity is ensured by internal modeling, error detection and positive acknowledgement architecture.
