TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Preventative Maintenance Of Wireless Infrastructure With A USB-Driven VNA

  One of the most critical steps in ensuring reliable, long-term wireless infrastructure operation is performing regular preventative maintenance. This application note discusses the challenges of keeping up VNAs for field use, as well as testing processes, adjustments, automation and programming.

• White Paper: Electronic Test And Measurement: Creating New Value, And Revenue Streams, With Embedded Software More than ever, embedded software is playing a central role in intelligent device manufacturers go-to-market strategies. This trend is especially apparent in markets such as telecom, test and measurement, healthcare, and industrial automation where manufacturers are under increasing pressure to innovate, rapidly enter new markets, control costs, maximize incremental revenue from existing customers, and deliver a competitively differentiated customer experience.
• Targeting PIM Testing

  This article discusses how K&L Microwave and Dow-Key Microwave’s products are used to monitor spurious emissions of systems at the design, type approval testing, and production stages to ensure compliance with existing regulatories established by regulatory agencies.

• Application Note: Software-Defined Radio Testing Using Real-Time Signal Analysis

  Software-defined radios are driving the integration of digital signal processing and radio frequency capabilities. This integration allows software to dynamically control communications parameters such as the frequency band used, filtering, modulation type, data rates, and frequency hopping schemes. Software radios, however, introduce a host of new problems not present in traditional wireless designs...

• Application Fixture For Counter-IED Power Amplifier Applications Using Two CG2H40010F GaN HEMTs

  Wolfspeed developed an application circuit that demonstrates the CG2H40010F's ability to operate between 500 MHz to 3000 MHz for satcom applications. This app note describes typical performance and what can be expected when evaluating the application fixture.
