Case Study
Antenna Amplifier Multi-Board RF Functional Test System
This case focuses on parallel RF test. Project materials support FM test, AM test, 12–24 multi-board panel test, amplifier gain, modulated frequency, signal power and NI LabVIEW. 12–24 boards per panel is presented as Project Configuration, not as a standard system capacity.

Engineering Challenges
- Multi-board parallel testing requires RF resource sharing and multi-channel fixture support.
- Gain, frequency and signal power measurements need one coordinated test sequence.
- The project configuration count must not be treated as standard capacity for all RF testers.
Implementation
- NI LabVIEW organizes RF test flow and result recording.
- Panel fixture supports multi-board connection and test switching.
- Test logic is designed around RF resource sharing, gain measurement, frequency verification and signal power measurement.
Engineering Outcome
- A parallel RF functional test system was built for antenna amplifier panels.
- The project configuration supports 12–24 boards per panel.
- The case shows that FCT can be designed around panel-level parallelization and RF resource sharing.
