TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Compact Solution For Network Analysis In The mmWave Range

  The R&S^® ZNA vector network analyzer with integrated LO output and direct IF input options is a simple, cost-effective solution for 2-port and 4-port measurements using Rohde & Schwarz mmWave converters.

• VSWR Conversion To Reflected Power

  VSWR measures how efficiently RF power is transmitted through a load, with high VSWR indicating poor efficiency. Explore VSWR's relation to return loss, reflection coefficient, and mismatch loss.

• 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.

• Electronic Packaging: Using EMI Material-Based Solutions

  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.

• 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.
