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.

Near and Far-Field Antenna Measurement

A vector network analyzer is an essential tool for the characterization of antennas. This application note provides an overview of near and far-field measurement techniques. There are challenges to either method, and a solid understanding of these will be helpful to achieve superior measurement results.
ERZIA

Comparing Linearity Measurements in a GaN Ka-Band Satcom Power Amplifier

In this white paper, ERZIA will focus on the Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) method which measures amplifier behavior under a specific modulated input signal, which gives a clear indication of amplifier performance for a given application. We then compare this with classical RF parameters of the amplifier.
