TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

  • How To Configure Generic Devices In R&S Elektra

    R&S ELEKTRA is able to communicate with many devices. Still, it is impossible to integrate drivers for all devices. Hence, R&S ELEKTRA offers the possibility to integrate any device by configuring a generic driver.

  • Characterizing Parasitic Components In Power Converters

    With the rise of wide-bandgap semiconductors like GaN and SiC, characterizing parasitic components in power converters is crucial for maintaining efficiency and preventing performance issues.

  • R&S®FSWP And The Validity Of Positive Phase Noise Values

    This white paper reviews the classical spectrum analyzer measurement of L(f) and its shortcomings. It also discusses how modern phase noise test sets measure phase noise and avoid the limitations imposed by direct spectrum measurements, especially with the use of the R&S®FSWP.

  • How To Perform A Radiated Emissions Measurement

    Explore the intricacies of setting up radiated emissions testing with this guide, covering everything from antenna placement and polarization to accurate frequency selection and signal measurement.

  • Speeding Up Reflection Measurements On Antenna Systems

    Reflection measurements are a common way of assessing antenna system performance. When a minimum amount of the transmitted signal is reflected, it indicates that the transmission energy can reach the intended coverage. Undesired high reflection causes the system to be inefficient and can damage components. This application note presents solutions for aiding fast and efficient reflection measurements on antenna systems to get it right the first time.

TEST & MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

Holzworth Instrumentation was founded as a phase noise measurement company. Along the path to phase noise analysis solutions, our high performance building blocks were developed and sold in the form of RF Synthesizers, Phase Detectors, etc. The HA7401A is a Fixed Frequency Phase Noise Analyzer, and the HA7402A is a Phase Noise Measurement Engine.

The Si4133G Dual-Band RF synthesizer is a fast settling integer-N synthesizer

The A.H. Systems' line of Current Probe Calibration Fixtures are a great way to keep your broadband Current Probes, and Injection Current Probes calibrated and up to date. Their rugged design ensures long life, and faultless operation over the wide calibration frequency range of 10 kHz to 1000 MHz.

Pentek offers the Talon® RTX 2684 as a 26 GHz sentinel intelligent signal scanner recording system. The system provides SIGINT engineers the ability to scan the RF spectrum from 1 GHz to 26 GHz for signals of interest and monitor or record bandwidths up to 500 MHz wide.

XF leverages the EM principle of superposition to quickly analyze port phase combinations with a single simulation.

Qorvo offers the 1800 W, 65 V, 1.0 – 1.1 GHz QPD1025L as the highest GaN transistor on the market. This discrete GaN on SiC HEMT has a package that features input pre-match resulting in ease of external board match and saved board space.

The dB-3908 TWT Amplifier (TWTA) is designed to use two wideband, periodic permanent magnet (PPM)-focused TWTs to amplify CW, AM, FM or pulse-modulated signals. The dB-3908 offers higher saturated output power and improved harmonic performance when compared to a single TWT approach.

The dB-9001 from dB Control is a custom-mounted Instantaneous Frequency Measurement (IFM) unit designed to operate in the C, X, and Ku-band frequency range and provide highly accurate measurements at 100 ns to CW pulse width measurements.
