TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Battery Simulation With DC Power Supplies

  This application note guides users in creating custom battery models for R&S^® NGM200 and R&S^® NGU201 power supplies, enabling gradual battery discharge via QuickArb and data logging, with recorded data adaptable for battery simulation using a provided developer tool.

• 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.

• Circuit Models For Plastic Packaged Microwave Diodes

  This paper reports on the measurement and establishment of circuit models for SOT-23 and SOD-323 packaged diodes. Results indicate that the 1.5 nH estimate for the SOT-23 is a useful result, as is 1.2 nH for SOD-323 single packaged diodes. It was also determined that the effective inductance of the SOT-23 may be reduced to approximately 0.4 nH by adding a second bond wire and modifying the microstrip line. Other lead configurations, including parallel bond wires and common cathode configurations, were also studied.

• Test Automotive Radar Interference Mitigation

  Automotive radar is crucial for achieving Net Zero targets in the automobile industry, and the R&S AREG800A radar echo generator is essential for testing sensor immunity to interference.

• Crowdsourcing Versus Mobile Network Testing

  The need for an objective evaluation of mobile network quality and performance drives two fundamentally different approaches, crowdsourcing, and mobile network testing.
