59. How Can Additive White Gaussian Noise Make Directed Energy Weapons More Powerful? 5/4/2022

    An enemy target is in sight. With its location confirmed, an extremely powerful and highly focused electromagnetic energy beam (e.g., a high-power laser) is emitted to incapacitate or destroy the adversarial force. This is the mission objective of directed energy weapons (DEW).

60. What's The Key To Quantifying A Phase Noise Analyzer's True Noise Floor? 5/4/2022

    The way most modern cross-correlation phase noise analyzers determine this figure is by approximating its value. Calculation of the noise floor approximation occurs during data acquisition of a device under test (DUT), which helps estimate the measurement margins. No matter the manufacturer, the measurement noise floor is unique for every analyzer.
