Choosing A Signal Generator For Radar Testing? These Parameters Are Key

There are three essential performance parameters when choosing a signal generator to evaluate a radar system: phase noise, frequency switching speed, and cost.

Simulating RF Desense And Electromagnetic Interference In Electronic Devices

It is a universal experience of modern life: You’re in an area of sufficient cellular signal, but the internet connection is degraded. A Bluetooth link is dropped even though the device battery is fully charged. The touchscreen of a device is unresponsive for no apparent reason.

Thin Film Integrated Passive Devices

IPDs are specialized components tailored for specific applications, not general use. Engineers can use them to efficiently achieve SWaP goals.

Digital Debunking: How Difficult Is It To Shatter A Backboard?

Using Altair simulation tools, we pushed a basketball hoop model to its limits to see how much force a backboard can withstand before it breaks (keeping in mind current design regulations).
