TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

• 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.

• How To Test USB Power Delivery Over Type-C

  USB Type-C compliance test standards are more complex due to higher data transmission speeds and more power. Successful testing requires accurate and compliant test instruments, software, and fixtures.

• VCO Measurements With FSPN Phase Noise Analyzer

  This application note provides a short technical introduction to voltage-controlled oscillators and explains the most common and the most important measurements made during the VCO characterization process.

• RF Test Setup For Measuring Power & Harmonics

  Power measurement is accomplished by using a high-power calibrated coupler or attenuator, which gets attached to the Amplifier RF output connector. Harmonics are recorded similarly by increasing the input drive from the signal source. 

• 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.
