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.

  • 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. 

  • What Is Pulse Shaping?

    In this industry briefing,George Bollendorf explains a new approach to fix fidelity issues caused by the transmitting amplifier that matches input pulse signal shape, minimizes droop, overshoot, ringing, and rise and fall times.

  • Telecommunications Testing Using AR Amplifiers

    This application note explores a number of testing requirements for telecommunication devices and how to benefit from AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation’s products. The paper will cover two broad categories of device testing – characterization and reliability – within mid to high power systems.

  • Solution For BCI Applications

    Rohde & Schwarz provides a compact solution for conducted immunity tests with a signal generator, RF solid-state amplifier up to 350 W, power sensors, and test software for frequencies from 4 kHz to 400 MHz.

TEST & MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

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.

The dB-9001 from dB Control is a custom-mounted Instantaneous Frequency Measurement (IFM) 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.

Radar simulation systems (i.e., RF sources and/or receivers) must perform to an exacting minimum standard if they are to accurately prove the field worthiness of EW systems.

The 50S-2133 SMA from JFW is a solid-state, self-terminating 1P8T RF switch designed for economical automated RF testing applications in the 20 – 5,000 MHz frequency range.

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.

Bird offers the FH-AV-KIT, a FlightHawk™ RF Aviation Test Kit designed for avionics testing and measurement applications. This kit includes a proven antenna and cable testing functionality of the FlightHawk handheld analyzer, all necessary adapters and cabling, and Bird’s aviation testing software that allows anyone on the maintenance team to test and verify all antenna systems in a fleet.
