TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Introduction To RNVNA, A Multiport Network Analysis Solution

  In many RF applications it is necessary to make multiport measurements. The RNVNA, a multiport network analysis solution, links up to 16 1-Port analyzers together into a multiport network analysis system. Each of the 16 analyzers will make individual vector reflection measurements and scalar transmission measurements from port to port.

• Accurate Test Fixture Characterization And De-Embedding

  This application note provides practical hints to accurately characterize and de-embed these lead-in and lead-out structures with R&S Vector Network Analyzers ZNA, ZNB, ZNBT and ZND.

• Harmonic Measurement For IEC 61000-4-3 And Other Radiated Immunity Standards

  Amplifiers exhibiting significant harmonic distortion in immunity test systems can exhibit broadband characteristics that result in measurement uncertainty and unacceptable errors. This app note addresses acceptable harmonic measurement standards and other radiated immunity standards.

• Load Transient Response – Enhancing Loop Stability Testing

  Ensuring stability in power supply design requires validating switching converter stability through frequency loop and load transient responses, aided by modern oscilloscopes for visualizing PWM signals and identifying converter effects.

• De-Embedding Test Fixtures For High-Speed Digital Applications

  Test fixtures are commonly used in high-speed digital measurement to connect devices to measurement equipment. Characterization and analysis in time and frequency domains help remove the influence of these fixtures.
