FAQ

How many test instruments can operate simultaneously on one Moku device?

With Multi-Instrument Mode, users can run up to eight instruments at once on a single FPGA-based device. This capability allows engineers to perform faster aerospace and defense testing, reduce equipment footprint, and meet SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) requirements without sacrificing precision or performance.

What aerospace and defense applications does the Liquid Instruments Moku platform support?

The Moku platform by Liquid Instruments is designed for a wide range of aerospace and defense test applications, including free-space optical (FSO) communications, directed energy systems, laser frequency stabilization, interferometry, LiDAR, and automated electronics testing. Engineers use Moku devices to accelerate research and validation in mission-critical environments. With the Gigabit Streamer, engineers can also perform wideband record/playback experiments such as L-band direct inject GNSS testing.

Why is FPGA-based architecture important for aerospace and defense signal processing?

Moku devices use a reconfigurable FPGA-based architecture that delivers real-time signal processing and ultra-low latency performance, ideal for defense applications such as high-speed waveform generation, feedback control, and matched filtering. Engineers can also integrate custom neural networks to enhance signal denoising and data analysis directly on the hardware.

Is the Moku platform qualified for mission-critical or space-grade aerospace testing?

Yes. Moku devices are built on technology originally developed in collaboration with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, ensuring mission-grade reliability and high-performance signal integrity. Its flexible, reconfigurable design supports aerospace and defense test environments that demand both precision and adaptability.
