TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Verifying The Clock Source

  In order to select or develop a clock generator to use in your design or to ensure that the supplied system clock has the proper performance, you'll need to consider phase noise, jitter, wideband noise and spurs as performance indicators.

• Electronic Packaging: Using EMI Material-Based Solutions

  It can be difficult when individual components could pass EMI testing but, as the components are combined into subsystems or into the final product, the DUT fails. Incorporating EMI shielding materials as part of an initial design is the most cost-effective way to prevent these last-minute issues during testing.

• 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.

• Harmonic Measurement For IEC 61000-4-3 And Other Radiated Immunity Standards

  Amplifiers exhibiting significant harmonic distortion in immunity test systems can exhibit broadband characteristics that result in measurement uncertainty and unacceptable errors. This app note addresses acceptable harmonic measurement standards and other radiated immunity standards.

• Field Probe Correction Factors

  To better achieve accurate field level measurements, it is helpful to have an understanding of field probe calibrations, the factors generated, and what’s presented as data during testing. This application note presents how to utilize the factors presented for inclusion into test data, how to generate composite measurements, and why calibrations are performed at selected frequencies.
