3. What Is Your Old Spectrum Analyzer Hiding From You? 6/17/2019

   Digital Phosphorus Technology, or DPX, is a Tektronix patented acquisition mode that performs the hardware DSP processing and rasterizing of the samples into pixel information in order to reveal a greater amount of signal detail. It gives a truly “live” view of the RF signals, with its color-grading feature allowing users to see different signals at the same frequency yet separated by either time or power levels. In this video, DPX is demonstrated and reveals signals that your old spectrum analyzer might be hiding from you. You can literally see signals hidden beneath other signals!

4. Considerations For Sourcing Phase Match Cable Assemblies 6/6/2019

   Maddiel Gonzalez of MegaPhase talks about the parameters in sourcing phase match cable assemblies, especially phase-stable cables. To further help in assessing the phase match performance, MegaPhase offers this calculator tool to assess the phase match tolerance in a comfortable manufacturing scenario.

5. New Metric For Antenna Array Analysis In XFdtd 6/5/2019

   Jeff Barney at the Remcom booth here at IMS 2019 introduces their new metric for antenna phased array analysis in the XFdtd software.
