TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

  • Test Automotive Radar Interference Mitigation

    Automotive radar is crucial for achieving Net Zero targets in the automobile industry, and the R&S AREG800A radar echo generator is essential for testing sensor immunity to interference.

  • Qorvo Biotechnologies Sensor-Based Technology Provides Rapid Reference-Lab Quality Tests At Point-of-Care

    This white paper describes Qorvo Biotechnologies’ Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) immunosensor detection platform designed for point-of-care applications and describes analytical and functional sensitivity testing on human Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (hTSH) as an example. The Qorvo Biotechnologies’ platform is targeted to be central lab matched, with the goal of providing clinicians data that will enable quicker decision making across multiple disease states, such as in cardiac and infectious disease segments, where time to result and high performance are critical factors in the patient care workflow.

  • Compact Solution For Network Analysis In The mmWave Range

    The R&S® ZNA vector network analyzer with integrated LO output and direct IF input options is a simple, cost-effective solution for 2-port and 4-port measurements using Rohde & Schwarz mmWave converters.

  • DPX® Acquisition Technology For Spectrum Analyzers Fundamentals

    Signal detection is the first step in characterizing, diagnosing, understanding, and resolving any problem that relates to time-variant signals. Engineers are requiring better tools to help find and interpret complex signal behaviors and interactions. The Tektronix Digital Phosphor technology, or DPX®, can be used in Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers (RSAs) to reveal signal details that are completely missed by conventional spectrum analyzers and vector signal analyzers. This white paper describes the methods behind the DPX Live RF spectrum display, swept DPX, Time-Domain DPX Displays, DPX Density™ measurements, DPX Density™ and Frequency Edge triggers.

  • Battery Cycle Tool For The R&S NGU401/NGU201/NGM200/NGL200

    The battery cycle tool has several charts that display collected data and can be used to characterize battery samples and create battery models.

TEST & MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

Model HP 4268A is a capacitance meter designed for testing high value multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designs

The SI893x’s 0 to 2.25 V specified input range is ideal for isolated voltage sensing. The Si8935/36/37 provides delta-sgma modulated output with flexible options for external or internally generated clock.

The dB-3908 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-3908 offers higher saturated output power and improved harmonic performance when compared to a single TWT approach.

The Microwave VME/VXS Tuner by Hunter Technology is the industry’s smallest available microwave SIGINT VME tuner. It covers the 500 MHz-20.0 GHz and 30.0 GHz to 40.0 GHz frequency ranges and features incredibly fast tuning, low phase noise, excellent mechanical conductivity, a single slot 6U VME configuration, and much more.

XF leverages the EM principle of superposition to quickly analyze port phase combinations with a single simulation.

Microwave Systems offers the MS010620 multi-octave, high-power GaN amplifier designed to operate from 1 to 6 GHz. It is ideally suited for use in communications systems, radar systems, test instrumentation, broadband RF telemetry, point to point radio, and fiber optics applications.

D-TA Systems offers the MFEL 1000 portable ELINT data collection solution designed to provide automatic spectrum scanning for signal activity (pulse or CW), PDW extraction and de-interleaving to tracks where signal characterization is performed automatically. The system includes a built-in 6 TB (expandable to 18 TB) SSD data storage for I/Q data collection in both on-site and off-site analysis.

Pentek offers the Talon® RTX 2684 as a 26 GHz sentinel intelligent signal scanner recording system. The system provides SIGINT engineers the ability to scan the RF spectrum from 1 GHz to 26 GHz for signals of interest and monitor or record bandwidths up to 500 MHz wide.
