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.

• Four Practical Applications Using An Electronic Load

  This article presents four tips on how to test with electronic loads and illustrate the flexibility and usefulness of a DC electronic load. 

• De-Embedding Test Fixtures For High-Speed Digital Applications

  Test fixtures are commonly used in high-speed digital measurement to connect devices to measurement equipment. Characterization and analysis in time and frequency domains help remove the influence of these fixtures.

• 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.

• On-Wafer Characterization At sub-THz Frequencies

  New technologies and applications extend into sub-THz frequencies in the D band and beyond. New semiconductor technologies and processes need to be commercialized to support these efforts.
