TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

  • Measurement Of The Phase Between Several Signals

    Measurement of magnitude can be done with spectrum analyzers, power meters etc. For a phase measurement, a VNA is the easiest, fastest and most accurate instrument. 

  • Accurately Measure Your UWB Device's Time Of Flight

    The R&S®CMP200 radio communication tester together with the R&S®CM-Z300A time of flight kit provides an accurate setup for time of flight measurements – in validation, calibration and certification.

  • Small Cell Testing In FR2

    In the era of 5G, small cells have become pivotal in network densification. Explore the essential testing aspects of small cell devices throughout their product life cycle.

  • Design Of A Complete RF Downconverter Module For Test Equipment

     The example module and its constituent parts were designed and simulated with AWR Design Environment software using circuit- and system-level analyses. The integration of the downconverter within a mechanical outline influences the layout of the individual radio blocks.

  • 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.

TEST & MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

The dB-3907 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-3907 offers higher saturated output power and improved harmonic performance when compared to a single TWT approach.

The MXO 5 Series delivers breakthrough oscilloscope technology to speed up your understanding and testing of electronic systems.

The Model 6350S is a small form factor 8-channel A/D & D/A subsystem designed for a variety of applications including high-bandwidth data streaming, waveform signal generators, multimode data acquisition, and other electronic warfare systems. Designed to be integrated into larger systems with minimal design effort, the 6350S delivers the performance and high-channel density of RFSoC in a small, convenient footprint.

Qorvo introduces the QPC2040 single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch operating within the 8 – 12 GHz frequency range for commercial and military radar, communications, electronic warfare, test instrumentation, and other general purpose applications. The switch typically supports 10 W input power handling at control voltages of 0/−2 V for both CW and pulsed RF operations.

The dB-9003 and dB-9005 from dB Control are custom-mounted Integrated Stabilized RF Sources (ISRFS) designed to operate in the I and Ka-band frequency range. Both products feature high accuracy and a wide temperature operating range. They can be controlled and set up with a digital port. The units are packaged in a custom configuration with conduction cooling.

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

The SMS7630 Series comprises low-cost, surface mountable, plastic packaged silicon mixer Schottky diodes designed for RF and microwave mixers and detectors. They include low barrier diodes and zero-bias detectors that combine Skyworks advanced semiconductor technology with low-cost packaging techniques. All diodes are 100 percent DC tested and deliver tight parameter distribution, which minimizes performance variability.

The dB-9002 from dB Control is a custom-mounted Dual Instantaneous Frequency Measurement (DIFM) 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.
