TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Waveform Acquisition Rate And Why It Matters

  Explore key specifications of modern digital oscilloscopes, including often overlooked ones like acquisition rate and blind time, to better understand their importance in oscilloscope applications.

• Characterization Of An Amplifier With The Combination Of Network And Spectrum Analysis

  The general characterization of complex DUTs such as amplifiers requires the measurement of several parameters. Thanks to its versatility, the R&S^® ZNL is an economic solution that can characterize a variety of DUTs both via network analysis and spectrum analysis.

• Testing A 24-28GHz Power Amplifier Using The 5G New Radio Test Standard

  In this white paper, we will introduce some of the main challenges in test and measurement of a device at mmWave frequencies, with a 26 GHz pioneer band defined for the UK between 24.25 - 27.5 GHz.

• Power Consumption Analysis With Specialty DC Power Supplies

  Optimizing power consumption is critical for IoT devices running on small, non-rechargeable batteries. Learn how accurate characterization and smart design can extend device lifespans.

• Linearity Of The JFET And MOSFET When In Saturation Over The Entire Cycle

  Performing RF amplification in a way that is simultaneously linear and efficient has been a challenge in power amplifier (PA) design. Single transistor PAs can either be operated in a linear, but inefficient, current source mode of operation or as efficient, but nonlinear, switches. These techniques use two FETs, but this paper demonstrates that linear amplification can be achieved at high power with an efficiency greater than 60%, using a single FET.
