Learn about four network analyzer capabilities that make next-generation testing significantly more efficient in our eBook. Conduct time domain analysis, spectrum analysis, and more with a single connection to a network analyzer.

In the radio-frequency world, the term "direction finding" (DF) refers to the use of specialized instruments, antennas, and methodologies to determine the physical or geographical location of an emitter; that is, a source of radio-frequency energy.

This white paper provides an overview of test solutions addressing current and future requirements for antenna verification including both conducted and over-the-air test methods, which result from applying Massive MIMO antenna technology.

Learn about the basics of OTA Testing including near-field and far-field definitions/equations, typical parameters to measure for device characterization, various methods to transform near-field to far-field for measurements, and how to perform far-field measurements at near-field distances.

Today’s satellite communication systems combine features from legacy cellular networks and emerging wireless technologies. New constellations are under development that attempt to provide ubiquitous mobility and internet networks via satellites, ground stations and user terminals.

RF/microwave modules, often referred to as “hybrids,” integrate functional blocks used to transmit and/or receive radio signals. These hybrid circuits combine different technologies, including monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs)/RFICs, discrete field-effect transistors (FETs), and passive devices attached to substrates such as alumina or FR4, which contain circuit traces and distributed components, all within a single housing or enclosure.

Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a commonplace technique for efficiently driving switched mode supplies at a fixed frequency. This applies to many types of power supplies in industrial control systems, power electronics and digital communications.

The MATRICs™ Transceiver is poised to cross over from defense applications to commercial markets with the latest non-ITAR version. The ultra-wideband reconfigurable transceiver system on a chip has immediate applications as a software defined radio prototyping platform for commercial RF/mm-Wave applications, including 5G FR2 and point 2 points links.

This white paper provides an overview of the basic building blocks of a phased array system and discusses how the nature of their design leads to a challenging test environment.

5G and Wi-Fi 6 are two key enablers of next generation wireless connectivity. These technologies will help allow our mobile devices to connect ubiquitously to each other, our automobiles, machines and the wireless world around us. This paper covers the impact of both these technologies in the next generation wireless ecosystem and how Wi-Fi fits in with 3G/4G/5G and other IoT technologies.
