Transmitter & Receiver (TR) Module ATE From Digilogic Systems

Digilogic Transmitter & Receiver (TR) Module ATE Test platform is a COTS equipment-based test system designed to address various types of TR Module performance & functional testing. This system is capable of generating and analyzing the required signals in the specified band for the TR module operation. This test system can be capable of testing the TR modules in different frequency bands as per the customer’s requirement. By adding switching subsystem support to this platform, we can have a scalable architecture to test multiple TR Modules (TRM) or Plank (Series of TRMs) at a time or one after the other.

1. Transmitter & Receiver (TR) Module ATE
Introduction
The Transmitter & Receiver (TR) Module ATE, developed using the latest test and
measurement technologies, is designed to automate the validation, calibration, and
functional testing of TR modules. It performs complex testing tasks with high precision
and repeatability, helping engineers verify that every module meets its design
specifications before deployment in radar, communication, or electronic warfare
systems.
Digilogic Systems’ TR Module ATE is a versatile and scalable testing platform that
integrates RF instrumentation, digital control systems, and automated software for
complete end-to-end verification. It reduces manual testing efforts, accelerates
production, and ensures that each TR module performs optimally in demanding real-
world conditions.

2. What is a Transmitter & Receiver (TR) Module?
Transmitter & Receiver (TR) module is an electronic unit used in radar and
communication systems. It consists of circuits that transmit and receive RF signals.
Each TR module typically contains components like amplifiers, phase shifters,
attenuators, switches, and control electronics. These modules are often integrated
into phased array antennas to control beam direction and power levels dynamically.
Why is testing TR modules so important?
Testing TR modules is essential because even minor deviations in performance can
lead to signal distortion, reduced range, or inaccurate targeting in radar systems.
Automated testing ensures that each unit meets specifications for power output, gain,
phase, linearity, and noise figure. Comprehensive testing also detects faults early in
the production cycle, preventing costly field failures.
What is a TR Module ATE?
TR Module Automated Test Equipment (ATE) is a system designed to perform
automated, high-precision testing of transmitter and receiver modules. It uses a
combination of RF instruments, signal analyzers, network analyzers, and control
software to execute predefined test sequences. The ATE can measure parameters like
RF power, frequency response, insertion loss, and return loss under controlled
conditions.

3. How does the Digilogic Systems TR Module ATE work?
The Digilogic Systems TR Module ATE integrates hardware and software for
complete automation. The system includes:
⦁ RF signal sources and spectrum analyzers for generating and measuring test
signals.
⦁ Switch matrices for routing signals between instruments and the device under
test (DUT).
⦁ High-speed data acquisition modules for monitoring and recording test results.
⦁ Custom software interface developed in LabVIEW or Python for test automation,
data logging, and report generation.
The test sequences are fully automated—engineers simply select the test plan, and
the ATE executes all measurements, applies calibrations, and stores results for
analysis.
