RFIC测试软件
RFIC测试软件简化了宽带RF IC的特性分析。
RFIC测试软件是一款应用软件，可帮助您分析功率放大器(PA)和前端模块(FEM)等RFIC的特性。如果要对PA进行线性化，有多种针对特定应用的数字预失真(DPD)算法可供选择，例如查找表(LUT)、记忆多项式(MP)和广义记忆多项式(GMP)。此外，您还可以集成并运行NI联盟伙伴的线性化算法或技术。当使用像PXI矢量信号收发仪这样的NI仪器时，您还可以使用该软件来分析包络跟踪(ET)等功率效率优化技术。您可以使用GUI来保存手动配置和执行，以便重复使用这些配置和执行或与其他测试平台共享。National Instruments Alliance Partner（NI联盟伙伴）是独立于NI的商业实体，与NI之间不存在代理、合伙或合资关系。

Finding Examples

LabVIEW, .NET, and TestStand examples are available via RFIC Test Automation Wizard, accessible from Start»National Instruments»RFIC Test Automation Wizard.

Automating the Installation of NI Products

You can automate the installation of most NI products using command-line arguments to suppress some or all of the installer user interface and dialog boxes.

If the NI product you are installing uses Microsoft .NET 4.6.2, the .NET installer may run before any NI software installs and may require a reboot before the installation of NI software begins. To avoid a .NET reboot, install .NET 4.6.2 separately before you install NI software.

For more information about automating the installation of NI products, refer to Automating an Installer in the NI Package Manager manual.
