NI has announced its support for CERN’s Beamline for Schools 2016 competition, which is run by the CERN & Society Foundation.

The students at Technion—Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel have successfully designed a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) using NI AWR Design Environment™. The design challenge was to build an efficient, easy-to-use SAR simulator that would connect to MATLAB for signal processing and that could handle many targets on the surface and then use MATLAB to calculate the object shapes.

NI AWR Design Environment™ V12.02, inclusive of Microwave Office, Visual System Simulator™ (VSS), Analog Office, AXIEM, and Analyst™, has been released and is now available to download. 

NI announced the release of its Automated Test Outlook 2016. The annual test and measurement report delivers a comprehensive view of the key trends expected to impact automated test environments with the proliferation of connected devices, from preparing to test mmWave communication to effectively using manufacturing test data to propel business results.

NI (formerly AWR Corp.) announces the agenda has been set and registration opened for its annual combined AWR Design Forum (ADF) 2015 / German User Group meeting being held November 26, 2015 at the NI European Headquarters in Munich.

NI and Astronics Test Systems Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Astronics Corp. announced their collaborative efforts to deliver PXI-based products designed for the aerospace and defense community. The combination of Astronics’ strength in test system integration and NI’s leadership in PXI-based automated test systems is expected to produce a best-in-class portfolio for automated test equipment (ATE) applications.

National Instruments, a leading provider of platform-based test systems that enable engineers and scientists to solve the world's greatest engineering challenges, announced its acquisition of Micropross, a company based near Lille, France, a technology innovator and leading supplier of test systems for Near Field Communications (NFC), smart cards and wireless charging test systems. Micropross will continue to operate as a wholly owned NI subsidiary under the leadership of the existing management team.

NI (formerly AWR Corp.) announces that NI AWR software events will be showcased on its own mobile app beginning with European Microwave Week (EuMW) 2015 in Paris on Sept 8-11.

NI (formerly AWR Corp.) announces that NI AWR Design Environment™ will be featured in the second annual National Instruments-sponsored RF/microwave power amplifier (PA) design forum at European Microwave Week 2015 (EuMW2015) on Wednesday, Sept. 9 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

NI, the provider of platform-based systems that enable engineers and scientists to solve the world’s greatest engineering challenges, released the Wireless Test System (WTS), a solution that dramatically lowers the cost of high-volume wireless manufacturing test. Although faced with the rising complexity of wireless test, companies can confidently reduce test costs and multiply throughput on the production floor with a system optimized for measurement speed and parallel test.
