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.
This application notes introduces the Multi-Standard Radio Analyzer function of the R&S FSW and shows how it performs the measurement on multi-standard radio transmitters. It reveals interactions caused by the coexistence of signals of different cellular standards and localizes the root cause. With an example of a base station signal consisting of three radio access technologies (GSM/WCDMA/LTE FDD) it shows how easy interactions can be found. The R&S FSW is the ideal tool for trouble shooting tasks with its combination of a large bandwidth and the versatile Multi-Standard Radio Analyzer in one measurement instrument.
This application note discusses a case in which a continuous impairment in the GSM 900 band was affecting a cell phone station’s performance, and how Narda’s IDA 2 interference and direction analyzer was able to help.
There is a driving need for more accurate and compact waveguide components at higher frequencies, while maintaining cost-effective solutions. This application note presents a handful of benchmark simulations of waveguide components performed with FEKO.
This application note briefly summarizes the history of SCPI and outlines in which fields of application a SCPI based test system software has still advantages over a driver (e.g. IVI) based approach.
AR E-field generators offer exceptional uniformity between the elements. Our ATE10K30M uses low inductance high-power internal load resistors to terminate RF power, and offers well-matched input VSWR. The ATE10K100M is our own patent-pending folded-dipole type design. And we haven't yet found a test object the ATE10K30M-1 can't handle
The FlexMatrix reconfigurable RF switch matrix allows test engineers that work in radar, consumer wireless, and military communications applications to easily adjust, modify, or expand their RF switching capabilities.
Bird offers the new IQC91000A Record and Playback System designed for recording modern waveforms for demanding mission requirements in electronic defense systems, and isolating anomalies that occur during system integration and real-world validation testing. The IQC91000A continuously records 90 minutes of 1000 MHz waveforms with its 12 bit fidelity, ensuring the capture of transient and unexpected events.
The PicoScope® 9400 is a 5 GHz sampler extended real time oscilloscope that has been designed to combine the benefits of real-time sampling, equivalent-time sampling and high analog bandwidth. It features four 5 GHz input channels with market-leading ADC, timing and display resolutions for accurately measuring and visualizing high-speed analog and data signals. It is ideal for capturing pulse and step transitions to 70 ps, impulses down to 140 ps and clocks and data eyes to 3 Gb/s.
Signal Hound offers the new SM200B real-time spectrum analyzer and monitoring receiver for tuning applications from 100 kHz to 20 GHz. This analyzer features 160 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth, 110 dB of dynamic range, 1THz/sec sweep speed at 30kHz RBW, and phase noise performance that is low enough to contribute less than 0.1% error to EVM measurements and rival even the most expensive spectrum analyzers on the market.
Available in Q4 2019.
The R&S® ZN-Z84 is a 48-port solution designed to complement the R&S ZNB network analyzer. It’s used to test multiport components for the wireless communications market in R&D and production phases. The matrix covers the 10 MHz to 8.5 GHz frequency range and can be controlled and operated directly from the ZNB network analyzer.
