This white paper covers the different types of Anaren cased and caseless hybrid couplers, as well as their typical operating characteristics, and equations for each specification.
The process of evaluating the performance of ultra-low-phase noise oscillators requires phase noise test systems with lower measurement times, lower noise floor capabilities, and high reliability and repeatability of test data.
Radar warning receivers (RWR) and electronic support measures (ESM) require signal validation against realistic and agile radar scenarios. In the past, these complex scenarios have only been available with dedicated and highly integrated radar scenario simulators. Now, the R&S®SMW200A vector signal generator has been designed with the capabilities to take on the role. The instrument can generate the most modern I/Q modulated radar signals from streamed pulse descriptor words (PDW) received via LAN.
What matters the most to the future of Wi-Fi technologies? Major concerns include high data rate, high capacity, and a good range of coverage. This white paper covers these areas of interest, the problems involved in implementing Wi-Fi growth requirements, and possible solutions.
RF Globalnet's Role Call series offers a “peek behind the curtain” at different jobs and career paths in the RF and microwave industry. Our most recent subject is Tom Offer, a Senior Hardware Engineer with CommAgility. Tom’s experience has included work with embedded systems, FPGA, and digital signal processing within RF, LTE, telecommunications, and other wireless markets.
It can be hard to fully account for thermal management and affected parameters in wireless access points or customer premises equipment prior to FCC certification. This article is the first in a series that looks at the design challenges for Wi-Fi front end designs. Part 2 will cover coexistence and interference.
NR is billed as a more capable air interface, and will need to operate in both the frequencies below 6 GHz and above 24 GHz (mmWave) with a frame structure supporting both TDD and FDD, as well as operate in both licensed and unlicensed spectrum.
This white paper describes the storage and handling requirements for GaN IC chips, as well as recommended assembly and testing techniques for users. Guidelines are also provided to aid the user in the assembly of GaN IC die in a manner consistent with desired electrical performance.
Wireless InSite’s Communication System Analyzer provides capabilities for assessing the performance of LTE, WiMAX, 802.11n, and 802.11ac systems. The following example investigates WiFi throughput coverage in a house provided by 802.11ac routers operating at 5 GHz using an 80 MHz bandwidth.
Choosing the appropriate amplifier for a system is vital for the system’s total performance. While there are many different characteristics of power amplifiers, this article focuses on an amplifier’s linearity and when it is important to consider in a selection process.
