TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Characterizing Parasitic Components In Power Converters

  With the rise of wide-bandgap semiconductors like GaN and SiC, characterizing parasitic components in power converters is crucial for maintaining efficiency and preventing performance issues.

• Design And Implementation Of A Miniature X-Band Edge-Coupled Microstrip Bandpass Filter

  Microwave bandpass filters are the fundamental component used in many RF/microwave applications to eliminate interference from signals operating at nearby frequencies. This application note presents a straightforward and largely nonmathematical method for designing an edge-coupled, bandpass filter for X-band operations with a combination of filter synthesis, closed-form edge-coupled transmission-line models, and EM analysis using the Microwave Office circuit simulator within Cadence AWR Design Environment software.

• 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.

• Testing For Coexistence In Crowded And Contested RF Environments

  In this paper, we review some of the key research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) challenges that arise when developing and deploying systems that need to operate in congested and/or contested RF environments.

• EMI Debugging Using Fast FFT With MXO Oscilloscopes

  Explore the MXO oscilloscope's EMI debugging capabilities, including gated FFT, superior RF performance, and advanced analysis features.
