TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

Mastering O-RAN Radio Unit (O-RU) Testing
How Kyrio found its perfect O-RAN conformance T&M solution from Rohde & Schwarz and VIAVI Solutions.
Measurement Of The Phase Between Several Signals
Measurement of magnitude can be done with spectrum analyzers, power meters etc. For a phase measurement, a VNA is the easiest, fastest and most accurate instrument.
How To Configure Generic Devices In R&S Elektra
R&S ELEKTRA is able to communicate with many devices. Still, it is impossible to integrate drivers for all devices. Hence, R&S ELEKTRA offers the possibility to integrate any device by configuring a generic driver.
Directivity And VSWR Measurements: Understanding Return Loss Measurements
The characterization of microwave networks requires discriminating between forward and backward traveling waves. Unfortunately no directional device is perfect, leading to potentially dramatic measurement errors. In this note we show that return loss and VSWR measurements are greatly complicated by the finite performance of the directional device used to measure the reflected power.
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.
