Featuring Averna’s leading RF and test expertise, the software-defined AST-1000 is powered by the NI VST and LabVIEW, and can generate all common radio signals (including AM/FM, DAB, DRM, HD Radio, and Sirius/XM), digital video signals (including ATSC, CMMB, DVB-T2, and ISDB), as well as simulate all common GNSS signals (including Galileo, GLONASS, GPS…).

And due to the AST-1000’s NI framework, customers can easily add a PXI-based waveform generator to generate any number of wireless waveforms using NI LabVIEW toolkits such as WiFi, Bluetooth, LTE, and WCDMA for module-level validation.

The AST-1000 is an extensible, future-proofed platform that can handle all of today’s infotainment RF and non-RF (e.g., CAN) test needs while also easily accommodating changing standards, new protocols and additional applications for wide-ranging product test and validation needs.
