TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

  • Understanding Component EMC Testing for ICs

    If you're producing integrated circuit (IC) products for electromagnetic environments, you must test and pass all the regulatory electromagnetic interference (EMI) and safety requirements. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing is performed to ensure these components can be used in the intended environment without failing, degrading, or causing other equipment to fail.

  • VCO Measurements With FSPN Phase Noise Analyzer

    This application note provides a short technical introduction to voltage-controlled oscillators and explains the most common and the most important measurements made during the VCO characterization process.

  • 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.

  • Transmit And Receive Testing Of Digital Waveforms Using R&S®CMA180

    The compact R&S®CMA180 Radio Test Set allows straightforward tests on devices that use analog or digital modulation and demodulation formats. This application note focuses on the use of the digital radio capabilities for measurements on radio transceiving devices in terms of their functionality and parameter characterization. Also shown is how to use the instrument with the various software tools available from Rohde & Schwarz for creating and evaluating digitally modulated signals.

  • Simplify Coexistence And Interference Testing For GNSS Receivers

    The R&S®SMW200A GNSS simulator offers an easy and convenient way to test your receiver design against a wide variety of potential interferers and jammers. Test cases extend from simple coexistence simulations to complex interference scenarios with localized emitters.

Model HP 4268A is a capacitance meter designed for testing high value multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) designs

Qorvo introduces the QPC2040 single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch operating within the 8 – 12 GHz frequency range for commercial and military radar, communications, electronic warfare, test instrumentation, and other general purpose applications. The switch typically supports 10 W input power handling at control voltages of 0/−2 V for both CW and pulsed RF operations.

The GORE® PHASEFLEX® Series offers the smallest, lightest, internally ruggedized microwave/RF test assemblies for high density interconnection in RF and uW modular applications as well as in high speed digital testing. These assemblies feature ON cable construction and provide consistent, repeatable measurements with electrical performance up to 18, 26.5, 40, or 50 GHz.

The dB-9002 from dB Control is a custom-mounted Dual Instantaneous Frequency Measurement (DIFM) unit designed to operate in the C, X, and Ku-band frequency range and provide highly accurate measurements at 100 ns to CW pulse width measurements.

Radar simulation systems (i.e., RF sources and/or receivers) must perform to an exacting minimum standard if they are to accurately prove the field worthiness of EW systems.

The dB-9004 is a custom-mounted Integrated Antenna Digital Control Unit (IADCU). It operates in the C, X and Ku-band frequency range and provides highly accurate RF output (FM, AM and pulse-shape modulated)
