TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Using FEKO To Calculate Radar Cross Section Of Aircrafts With Engine Inlets

  Asymptotic methods are the preferred method for calculating the radar cross section (RCS) of targets like aircrafts since the main parts of the target are more than an order of magnitude larger than the wavelength. 

• Design Of A Complete RF Downconverter Module For Test Equipment

   The example module and its constituent parts were designed and simulated with AWR Design Environment software using circuit- and system-level analyses. The integration of the downconverter within a mechanical outline influences the layout of the individual radio blocks.

• RF Testing On Automotive Infotainment Devices

  This application note highlights some of the RF measurement challenges and introduces Rohde & Schwarz equipment required for relevant RF characterization of car infotainment devices.

• IP2 Measurements Of Wideband Amplifiers

  This application note describes the theory and method used by Custom MMIC to characterize the second order intercept point (IP2) of its wideband amplifiers.

• Introduction To PIM Testing

  Passive Intermodulation (PIM) is a distortion that can occur when electrical nonlinearities within a system act as unintentional mixers at cell sites, communications satellites, and in wireless networks.
