WLAN IEEE 802.11ac – Wideband Signal Testing
This application note explains the benefits of using signal generators and signal analyzers by Rohde & Schwarz to test IEEE 802.11ac signals.
Optimizing WLAN Test Systems For Measurement Speed: Four Ways To Reduce Measurement Time With increasing pressure to lower test costs, many RF test engineers face the challenge of reducing measurement time. As you might expect, wireless LAN (WLAN) device testing is no exception. Whether you are creating an automated test system for design validation or final production test, it has become increasingly important to optimize a test system for measurement speed.

Application Note: Noise Figure Measurement Without A Noise Source On A Vector Network Analyzer This application note describes the noise figure measurement using the R&S Vector Network Analyzers of the ZVA and ZVT series. It explains the concept of measuring noise figure without the need for a characterized noise source. Furthermore, it discusses different measurement applications and the respective setup and implications. Some examples guide through the instrument setups and show measurement results as well. By Rohde & Schwarz
Programming EMI Test Receivers This application note discusses several basic methods for reading and displaying measurement results from EMI test receivers.
Application Note: Measuring Video Feedthrough in Pulsed Signals Video feedthrough is a very misunderstood term, which is used in the specification of pulse performance for microwave synthesizers.
