TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

Making Higher Accuracy Oscilloscope Measurements
One of the most important functional blocks in a digital oscilloscope is the analog-to-digital converter or ADC. This white paper explains why ADC resolution has become a more important consideration in oscilloscopes, especially for measuring small signal details.
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.
Power Supply Control Loop Response Measurements (Bode Plot)
The R&S^®RTx-K36 frequency response analysis (Bode plot) option provides a low-cost alternative to low frequency network analyzers or dedicated standalone frequency analyzers.
Perform High Impedance Measurements With Spectrum Analyzers
Modern RF circuit designs can use oscilloscope probes to directly probe circuit components, eliminating the need for traditional RF connectors and ensuring accurate measurements with high-impedance probes and spectrum analyzers.
Electronic Packaging: Using EMI Material-Based Solutions
It can be difficult when individual components could pass EMI testing but, as the components are combined into subsystems or into the final product, the DUT fails. Incorporating EMI shielding materials as part of an initial design is the most cost-effective way to prevent these last-minute issues during testing.
