Abstract: Software defined synthetic instruments (SDSIs) synthesize RF and microwave test and measurement (T&M) instruments (spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and so on) on top of modular, PXI-based COTS hardware and software. The latest generation of SDSIs can replace multiple “box instruments” with a single, integrated, multifunction system. Because one SDSI replaces multiple box instruments, SDSIs can also significantly reduce the size, weight, and power footprint of the required T&M equipment suite. In addition, SDSIs offer substantial advantages in technology insertion, upgradability, obsolescence management, and test program portability—all of which result in dramatic reductions in T&M total cost of ownership.
