TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Accurate Test Fixture Characterization And De-Embedding

  This application note provides practical hints to accurately characterize and de-embed these lead-in and lead-out structures with R&S Vector Network Analyzers ZNA, ZNB, ZNBT and ZND.

• Design Of A Complete RF Downconverter Module For Test Equipment

   The example module and its constituent parts were designed and simulated with AWR Design Environment software using circuit- and system-level analyses. The integration of the downconverter within a mechanical outline influences the layout of the individual radio blocks.

• Noise Figure: What Is It And Why Does It Matter?

  Noise figure is a key parameter that quantifies receiver performance by measuring how low a power a signal receiver can detect. This white paper covers the basic principles of noise figure, how to make sense of its specifications, how it is measured, and why this parameter is important in high-performance applications.

• EMC32 To R&S ELEKTRA Migration Using The ELEKTRA Migration Tool

  Discover how to use the R&S ELEKTRA Migration Tool for converting the backup data into the XML format that can be interpreted by the R&S ELEKTRA software.

• Testing For Coexistence In Crowded And Contested RF Environments

  In this paper, we review some of the key research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) challenges that arise when developing and deploying systems that need to operate in congested and/or contested RF environments.
