Characterization Of An Amplifier With The Combination Of Network And Spectrum Analysis
The general characterization of complex DUTs such as amplifiers requires the measurement of several parameters. Thanks to its versatility, the R&S^®ZNL is an economic solution that can characterize a variety of DUTs both via network analysis and spectrum analysis.
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.
Accurately Measure Your UWB Device's Time Of Flight
The R&S®CMP200 radio communication tester together with the R&S®CM-Z300A time of flight kit provides an accurate setup for time of flight measurements – in validation, calibration and certification.
Understanding Component EMC Testing for ICs
If you're producing integrated circuit (IC) products for electromagnetic environments, you must test and pass all the regulatory electromagnetic interference (EMI) and safety requirements. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing is performed to ensure these components can be used in the intended environment without failing, degrading, or causing other equipment to fail.
Basic Bulk Current Injection Testing
Bulk current injection (BCI) testing is a conducted susceptibility procedure that uses an injection current probe. This paper provides an example of BCI testing, covering all steps, including gathering the required equipment, pre-calibration procedures, injection testing procedures, and safety precautions.
