Summary:A system, designed to interact electronically with an RF device, is able to test many types of RF devices and is operable to apply a variety of test inputs to an RF device. The RF device, located within a nest inside an RF enclosure, interacts with the system via a nest electronics component. The nest electronics component, located within the RF enclosure and coupled to a nest interface component and a fixture interface component, supplies power and input test signals to the RF device. The nest electronics component may be configured to interact with a particular RF device, which allows the RF enclosure to used with different types of RF devices. The arrangement of these components allows control and measurement of the RF device to be located as close to it as possible and also allows functionality not required within the RF enclosure to be externally located.
