TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

  • How To Analyze Passive Low Frequency Components With A Rohde & Schwarz Oscilloscope

    This white paper presents a technique for easily and quickly analyzing low frequency response on an oscilloscope with the R&S®RTx-K36 frequency response analysis (Bode plot) option, which uses the oscilloscope’s built-in waveform generator to create stimulus signals ranging from 10 Hz to 25 MHz.

  • Excellence In Automotive Ethernet Solutions

    Ethernet is used in automotive networks to enable fast and cost-effective data communications. The automotive industry has specified the OPEN Alliance BroadR-Reach® (OABR) physical layer as the automotive Ethernet communications standard. It runs on standard FlexRay™ cabling and is used for high-speed communications such as audio or video streaming or for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). 100BASE-T1 uses full duplex communications, enabling up to 1Gbit/s to be transferred over one twisted pair. The R&S®RTO oscilloscope together with the R&S®ZND vector network analyzer (VNA) is the ideal solution for 100BASE-T1 compliance testing due to its superior signal fidelity and automated test and reporting execution capability.

  • EMI Debugging Using Fast FFT With MXO Oscilloscopes

    Explore the MXO oscilloscope's EMI debugging capabilities, including gated FFT, superior RF performance, and advanced analysis features.

  • Evolution Of The Modern Receiver In A Crowded Spectrum Environment

    The International Telecommunications Union Radiocommunications working group (ITU-R) outlines recommendations for the regulations and procedures guiding federal RF management. This paper looks at the evolution from analog spectrum analyzer to the modern digital receiver. 

  • Reduce Risk With A Better Measurement Process

    Measurement risk is the probability of making an incorrect decision. Many quality standards require calibration to reduce measurement risk. This white paper explores calibration, how it mitigates risk, as well as different calibration deliverables that can reduce testing costs.
