TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Battery Cycle Tool For The R&S NGU401/NGU201/NGM200/NGL200

  The battery cycle tool has several charts that display collected data and can be used to characterize battery samples and create battery models.

• 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.

• Circuit Models For Plastic Packaged Microwave Diodes

  This paper reports on the measurement and establishment of circuit models for SOT-23 and SOD-323 packaged diodes. Results indicate that the 1.5 nH estimate for the SOT-23 is a useful result, as is 1.2 nH for SOD-323 single packaged diodes. It was also determined that the effective inductance of the SOT-23 may be reduced to approximately 0.4 nH by adding a second bond wire and modifying the microstrip line. Other lead configurations, including parallel bond wires and common cathode configurations, were also studied.

• Small Cell Testing In FR2

  In the era of 5G, small cells have become pivotal in network densification. Explore the essential testing aspects of small cell devices throughout their product life cycle.

• 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.
