Precompliance Sweep for conducted and radiated emissions measurements. As Path Loss Tables and Antenna Factor Tables are an important part in calibrating an EMC Precompliance Sweep test setup, these tools will also be briefly discussed.

Gallium nitride (GaN) technology has become a staple for high power amplifiers (PAs) used in radar applications.  Moreover, the high power and/or the radar application often require the signals to be pulsed.  Measuring and characterizing pulsed RF signals used in radar applications present unique challenges.

Today, most products are complex mechatronic combinations of advanced technologies, mixing electrical parts with controllers and embedded software. To efficiently manage innovative products, organizations are turning to a Model-Based Development approach for concept studies, control design, multi-domain system simulation and optimization.

The exceptional measurement performance of millimeter-wave instruments can be compromised if you miss the fundamental practices of good measurements. It is essential to follow proper connector procedures to make accurate, repeatable measurements. Download the eBook to learn how you can take full advantage of your measurement equipment.

EMC compliance testing is not only important but required of all electronic devices before it can be brought to market. This ensures that your device does not interfere with the behavior of other surrounding electronic devices and is also not susceptible to interference. Learn how to avoid design rework by proofreading your device with EMC pre-compliance testing to ensure you stay on schedule.

Multi-mode cavity filters offer high power in a compact device, but are difficult to design by conventional methods. This article shows how the filter synthesis tool Filter Designer 3D can be used to design and tune a multi-mode compact ridged waveguide filter to meet stringent specifications.

Future communication systems will comprise many diverse systems that will be implemented with a wide array of solutions. Providing increased mobile broadband traffic and higher data rates, as demanded by end users, will require adding more spectrum, making that spectrum more efficient, and building out ultra-dense network configurations.

PCB Prototyping for Smarties examines how to align your prototyping strategy with business requirements, maintain flexibility in a fast-paced, always-evolving competitive environment and produce quality boards.

Creating arbitrary waveforms is easier than you might think. You don’t need to write code to generate a waveform and upload it to your function/arbitrary waveform generator, and you don’t need tediously learn how to use complex waveform software. Learn how to easily create your own arbitrary waveforms without programming!

More of today's design problems are being caused by the systems that power them. Designs are placing higher demands on their power systems and so during the design phase, your power supply needs to be able to provide reliable power to your device under test.
