TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Transmit And Receive Testing Of Digital Waveforms Using R&S®CMA180

  The compact R&S®CMA180 Radio Test Set allows straightforward tests on devices that use analog or digital modulation and demodulation formats. This application note focuses on the use of the digital radio capabilities for measurements on radio transceiving devices in terms of their functionality and parameter characterization. Also shown is how to use the instrument with the various software tools available from Rohde & Schwarz for creating and evaluating digitally modulated signals.

• Selecting Your Next Oscilloscope: Why Digital Triggering Matters

  Many people tend to overlook the importance of triggering while selecting an oscilloscope, but it's actually a crucial factor to consider. Digital triggering can offer some significant advantages.

• Characterization Of An Amplifier With The Combination Of Network And Spectrum Analysis

  The general characterization of complex DUTs such as amplifiers requires the measurement of several parameters. Thanks to its versatility, the R&S^® ZNL is an economic solution that can characterize a variety of DUTs both via network analysis and spectrum analysis.

• Power Consumption Analysis With Specialty DC Power Supplies

  Optimizing power consumption is critical for IoT devices running on small, non-rechargeable batteries. Learn how accurate characterization and smart design can extend device lifespans.

• 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.
