TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

• 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.

• Wi-Fi Performance In A House With Two Routers

  Wireless InSite’s Communication System Analyzer provides capabilities for assessing the performance of LTE, WiMAX, 802.11n, and 802.11ac systems. This example investigates WiFi throughput coverage in a house provided by 802.11ac routers operating at 5 GHz using an 80 MHz bandwidth.

• Radiated Wireless Coexistence Testing

  This application notegives the reader a clear idea of how to configure standardized test instruments from R&S in order to generate the wanted signal as well as unintended interference signals and conduct measurement to monitor device performance.

• EMI Debugging Using Fast FFT With MXO Oscilloscopes

  Explore the MXO oscilloscope's EMI debugging capabilities, including gated FFT, superior RF performance, and advanced analysis features.

• Characterizing Parasitic Components In Power Converters

  With the rise of wide-bandgap semiconductors like GaN and SiC, characterizing parasitic components in power converters is crucial for maintaining efficiency and preventing performance issues.
