TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

Waveform Acquisition Rate And Why It Matters
Explore key specifications of modern digital oscilloscopes, including often overlooked ones like acquisition rate and blind time, to better understand their importance in oscilloscope applications.
Ensuring Test Site Compliance for Radiated Emissions With Normalized Site Attenuation
This application note provides a synopsis of Normalized Site Attenuation (NSA) and Reference Site Method measurements which indicate a challenging but important aspect of radiated emissions measurements on an OATS, SAC, or FAR.
Crowdsourcing Versus Mobile Network Testing
The need for an objective evaluation of mobile network quality and performance drives two fundamentally different approaches, crowdsourcing, and mobile network testing.
Testing For Coexistence In Crowded And Contested RF Environments
In this paper, we review some of the key research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) challenges that arise when developing and deploying systems that need to operate in congested and/or contested RF environments.
Harmonic Measurement For IEC 61000-4-3 And Other Radiated Immunity Standards
Amplifiers exhibiting significant harmonic distortion in immunity test systems can exhibit broadband characteristics that result in measurement uncertainty and unacceptable errors. This app note addresses acceptable harmonic measurement standards and other radiated immunity standards.
