DESCRIPTION
The VIAVI CX700 ComXpert Radio Test System is the latest generation of tactical radio test instrumentation from VIAVI. Building upon the legacy of the 7200B and TS-4317 platforms, the CX700 provides a versatile SCA-compliant test environment combining advanced automation, synthetic instrumentation, modular hardware architecture, and laboratory-grade RF performance within a single integrated system.
Designed for modern communications environments, the CX700 supports testing of:
- Analog radios
- Digital radios
- Frequency hopping radios
- Software Defined Radios (SDR)
- Tactical communications systems
- Military communications equipment
- Radio development platforms
- Production test systems
The platform is optimized for:
- Radio manufacturing
- Production testing
- Depot maintenance
- Acceptance testing
- Engineering development
- System integration
- Field troubleshooting
- Defence communications support
The CX700 consolidates numerous laboratory instruments into a single platform including:
- Communications service monitor functions
- Spectrum analyzer
- RF signal generator
- Audio generator
- Audio analyzer
- Distortion meter
- SINAD meter
- Frequency counter
- Frequency reference
- Oscilloscope
- Digital multimeter
allowing complete transmitter, receiver, modulation, and subsystem verification from one instrument.
Designed to test analog and digital hopping frequency radios as well as modern SDR platforms, the system incorporates a 2-channel 125 MHz oscilloscope, 6½ digit DMM, real-time record and playback capability, and frequency-hop burst power measurement functionality.
The integrated Auto-Test framework supports automated testing and verification workflows while native Python scripting and Ethernet remote command interfaces enable deployment within modern automated test environments.
The CX700 further incorporates:
- GNSS-enabled chassis timing
- User-replaceable modules
- Integrated DUT power supplies
- Ruggedized keyboard
- Integrated touchscreen
- Integrated trackpad
to support comprehensive radio system testing in both laboratory and remote deployment environments.
MIL-PRF-2880F Class 3 environmental compliance makes the CX700 suitable for deployment across production facilities, maintenance depots, engineering laboratories, and operational field environments.
