TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Radiated Wireless Coexistence Testing

  This application notegives the reader a clear idea of how to configure standardized test instruments from R&S in order to generate the wanted signal as well as unintended interference signals and conduct measurement to monitor device performance.

• 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.

• Reduce Risk With A Better Measurement Process

  Measurement risk is the probability of making an incorrect decision. Many quality standards require calibration to reduce measurement risk. This white paper explores calibration, how it mitigates risk, as well as different calibration deliverables that can reduce testing costs.

• Perform High Impedance Measurements With Spectrum Analyzers

  Modern RF circuit designs can use oscilloscope probes to directly probe circuit components, eliminating the need for traditional RF connectors and ensuring accurate measurements with high-impedance probes and spectrum analyzers.

• Directivity And VSWR Measurements: Understanding Return Loss Measurements

  The characterization of microwave networks requires discriminating between forward and backward traveling waves. Unfortunately no directional device is perfect, leading to potentially dramatic measurement errors. In this note we show that return loss and VSWR measurements are greatly complicated by the finite performance of the directional device used to measure the reflected power.
