TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

• RF Amplifier Output Voltage, Current, Power, And Impedance Relationship

  How much output voltage, current, and power can you expect from your amplifier? In rare cases, this can be answered by applying Ohm’s law, assuming that the net power or power delivered to the load is the rated power output of the amplifier. In most cases, practical issues such as VSWR and forward power concerns must be considered before applying Ohm’s law. This application note addresses this issue and discusses an approach to be used that applies actual test data when calculating output parameters.

• Simplify Coexistence And Interference Testing For GNSS Receivers

  The R&S®SMW200A GNSS simulator offers an easy and convenient way to test your receiver design against a wide variety of potential interferers and jammers. Test cases extend from simple coexistence simulations to complex interference scenarios with localized emitters.

• Battery Cycle Tool For The R&S NGU401/NGU201/NGM200/NGL200

  The battery cycle tool has several charts that display collected data and can be used to characterize battery samples and create battery models.

• 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.

• Radiated Wireless Coexistence Testing

  This application notegives the reader a clear idea of how to configure standardized test instruments from R&S in order to generate the wanted signal as well as unintended interference signals and conduct measurement to monitor device performance.
