TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

  • Transmit And Receive Testing Of Digital Waveforms Using R&S®CMA180

    The compact R&S®CMA180 Radio Test Set allows straightforward tests on devices that use analog or digital modulation and demodulation formats. This application note focuses on the use of the digital radio capabilities for measurements on radio transceiving devices in terms of their functionality and parameter characterization. Also shown is how to use the instrument with the various software tools available from Rohde & Schwarz for creating and evaluating digitally modulated signals.

  • 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.

  • 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.
