TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Design And Implementation Of A Miniature X-Band Edge-Coupled Microstrip Bandpass Filter

  Microwave bandpass filters are the fundamental component used in many RF/microwave applications to eliminate interference from signals operating at nearby frequencies. This application note presents a straightforward and largely nonmathematical method for designing an edge-coupled, bandpass filter for X-band operations with a combination of filter synthesis, closed-form edge-coupled transmission-line models, and EM analysis using the Microwave Office circuit simulator within Cadence AWR Design Environment software.

• Certium VCS Test System For Aircraft Manufacturers

  New aircraft need to have their radiocommunication systems tested with compact voice communication systems like CERTIUM VCS. This is cost-effective, space-saving, and scalable thanks to its IP-based infrastructure.

• Quantum-Enabled Radar Research: Finding The Right Solution

  Examine how high-precision measurement of oscillators helped UK Quantum Technology Hub research to develop high-precision radar for detecting small objects such as drones and birds.

• Accurate Test Fixture Characterization And De-Embedding

  This application note provides practical hints to accurately characterize and de-embed these lead-in and lead-out structures with R&S Vector Network Analyzers ZNA, ZNB, ZNBT and ZND.

• Crowdsourcing Versus Mobile Network Testing

  The need for an objective evaluation of mobile network quality and performance drives two fundamentally different approaches, crowdsourcing, and mobile network testing.
