Understanding EVM

This paper provides an introduction to error vector magnitude (EVM), which is the primary metric of modulation accuracy. It discusses the fundamentals of the digital modulation schemes used in modern radio frequency communications systems, in particular, APSK and QAM, the fundamentals of error vector magnitude, and basics of constellation diagrams and how constellation diagrams can often be used to diagnose or troubleshoot the common root causes of EVM.

Multi-Tone Testing Theory & Practice

Multi-tone testing has many benefits. While the multi-tone method was initially implemented to increase the speed of IEC 61000-4-3 radiated immunity testing, it has been found that this method also improves equipment efficiency, offers greater flexibility to truly test the equipment (EUT) under real-world threat conditions, and can be fully compliant to standards.

Fundamentals of THz technology for 6G

The prospect of offering large contiguous frequency bands to meet the demand for extremely high data transfer rates in the Tbit/s range is making terahertz (THz) waves a key research area for the next generation of wireless communications (6G). This white paper offers an overview of the fundamentals of THz waves and their properties for various applications with a focus on 6G based communications.

In-Design Thermal Analysis for MMIC and RF PCB Power Applications

Next-generation electronic systems often demand increased RF power within a smaller footprint to meet demanding performance and size requirements. This paper discusses the impact of operating temperature on RF device performance and presents a thermal analysis solution in which the Cadence Celsius Thermal Solver is integrated with the AWR Design Environment RF/microwave platform.

Using a Higher-Order Basis Function based Method of Moments Analysis for Designing Compact Antenna Test Ranges

Full-wave electromagnetic simulation of a Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) is not trivial given its electrical size. Typically, the reflector geometry is simulated using asymptotic methods using an assumed feed pattern, while RF absorber and its effects are ignored.

Additive White Gaussian Noise – What Is It & How Can It Integrate into Today’s Advanced Systems?

Noise is an ever-present factor that affects the performance of wireless systems. In its broadest sense, noise represents undesired electromagnetic (EM) disturbances that can distort information-carrying EM signals. These distortions can originate from internal sources that are generated within electronic systems, as well as natural or man-made external sources, such as atmospheric noise, cosmic noise, and EM interference.
