You use it everyday. Does your T&M equipment meet your needs?

If there is one constant in product design and production, it's test and measurement equipment. From initial prototyping to quality assurance, test and measurement equipment assures the producer and the end user that the product meets spec.

While no one has yet produced the perfect test and measurement setup, manufacturers are working toward that end. In fact, at the recent Wireless Symposium, test and measurement manufacturers presented new test equipment to meet future requirements such as Bluetooth, 3G and beyond.

The editors of RF Design hear from test and measurement manufacturers on a regular basis. Now, we would like to hear from you, the reader, about what you think about the equipment you use.

To take part in RF Design's survey, please go to our new online home at www.TelecomClick.com or go to www.rfdesign.com . You can also take part in the survey by faxing the survey form found on page 42. The survey will be conducted through the end of May 2001.

The results of the survey will be posted online and presented in the June 2001 issue of RF Design. Please note that this survey is unscientific and will reflect only the opinions of those who took the survey.
