Perform High Impedance Measurements With Spectrum Analyzers
Modern RF circuit designs can use oscilloscope probes to directly probe circuit components, eliminating the need for traditional RF connectors and ensuring accurate measurements with high-impedance probes and spectrum analyzers.
Effortless Testing Of Direction Finding Devices – Amplitude Based
Together with multiple coupled R&S SMW200A vector signal generators, the R&S Pulse Sequencer allows performance characterization of all types of direction finding equipment such as devices that use amplitude comparison, interferometric or time difference of arrival (TDOA) techniques.
Top 10 Considerations For Automotive EMC Chamber Design And Testing
This resource will help you avoid the most common mistakes and outlines the important things to consider to successfully develop or refine an automotive EMC chamber and test design.
Basic Bulk Current Injection Testing
Bulk current injection (BCI) testing is a conducted susceptibility procedure that uses an injection current probe. This paper provides an example of BCI testing, covering all steps, including gathering the required equipment, pre-calibration procedures, injection testing procedures, and safety precautions.
Design Of A Complete RF Downconverter Module For Test Equipment
The example module and its constituent parts were designed and simulated with AWR Design Environment software using circuit- and system-level analyses. The integration of the downconverter within a mechanical outline influences the layout of the individual radio blocks.
