Power supply measurements of ripple and noise are more important than ever as they impact system aging, reliability, and efficiency. High bandwidth, high resolution oscilloscopes, advanced power rail probing, and integrated FFT analysis improves accuracy and simplifies debugging of modern power signals. Learn about SIGLENT’s power rail measurement solutions.
DoD software teams have increasingly migrated to Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps) and this approach works very well when software is deployed on standard devices. When the hardware platform is custom and developmental, however, DevSecOps teams tend to need help. Learn how Benchmark bridges this gap by deploying tools and processes that enable the hardware to evolve throughout the program.
Balancing the performance and cost of antenna measurement RF sub-systems is an important part of the design process. Small or low frequency systems often use a centrally located vector network analyzer without any remotely installed RF electronics. As these systems get larger or the frequency increases, the need to locate RF components remotely to maximize the available dynamic range grows.
Featuring a curated collection of articles and papers spanning several years, the eBook, "A Practical Guide to Load Pull Measurements," is a comprehensive resource that covers critical load pull methods, applications, and measurement setups. From fundamental concepts to advanced techniques, learn how load pull optimizes the performance of RF/microwave systems.
Beginning in 1965 and for approximately 50 years, transistor density in integrated circuits followed Moore’s Law. Yet during the last 15 years, active RF electronics have evolved into the RF System-on-a-Chip (RF SoC) and RF System-in-a-Package (RF SiP) approaches, which have led to significant SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power and Cost) reduction and simultaneously enhanced processing power.
Phase is a key parameter in many RF and microwave systems. Accurate phase control is essential for coaxial cables and connectors in applications ranging from radar and missile defense to satellite communication and instrumentation. Engineers can design and implement systems that achieve superior performance and reliability by understanding phase and exploring advanced cable technologies.

This application note explains Vector Network Analyzers and S-parameter measurements using time domain in the software. This paper contrasts frequency and time domain analyses, including Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) for time domain representation. The text discusses applications such as impulse response, Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR), and Time Domain Gating for improved measurement accuracy.
Every RF/Microwave system level design engineer searches for the “silver bullet” component solution that will be the key enabler for ALL performance specification requirements. A “silver bullet” can be defined as the single perfect solution to many complicated problems. For today’s RF/Microwave receiver system design engineers, Teledyne e2v’s EV10AS940 10 Bit, 12.8 GSPS ADC (with internal DDC) is the ultimate “silver bullet.”
