TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Introduction To RNVNA, A Multiport Network Analysis Solution

  In many RF applications it is necessary to make multiport measurements. The RNVNA, a multiport network analysis solution, links up to 16 1-Port analyzers together into a multiport network analysis system. Each of the 16 analyzers will make individual vector reflection measurements and scalar transmission measurements from port to port.

• Technical Report: Simulation Of Plasma Materials In XFdtd

  This paper discusses the FDTD method to simulate the behavior of plasma materials using Remcom’s XFdtd 3D EM Simulation Software and presents validation in one and three dimensions.

• Noise Figure: What Is It And Why Does It Matter?

  Noise figure is a key parameter that quantifies receiver performance by measuring how low a power a signal receiver can detect. This white paper covers the basic principles of noise figure, how to make sense of its specifications, how it is measured, and why this parameter is important in high-performance applications.

• 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.

• How To Configure Generic Devices In R&S Elektra

  R&S ELEKTRA is able to communicate with many devices. Still, it is impossible to integrate drivers for all devices. Hence, R&S ELEKTRA offers the possibility to integrate any device by configuring a generic driver.
