When you call an HVAC technician these days, the first thing they might ask is, “have you tried turning it off and on again?” This morning, I woke up to an indoor temperature of 55 F (that’s 286 Kelvi
In our last blog, we explored traditional vector network analyzer architecture. Now, let’s look at how network analyzers based on direct digital synthesis (DDS) provide an extra performance boost for
In this two-part blog we’ll look at how network analyzers generate signals. The phase locked loop is the bread and butter of analog signal generation, and understanding how phase locked loops work is
Multi-band beamforming antennas play an increasing role in sorting our ever-growing wireless traffic. At the heart of these antennas, beamformer integrated circuits (ICs) drive multiple transmit/recei
Every year we look forward to eating pie on pi day to celebrate the simple yet infinitely complex number we all know and love. This year’s pie excitement got me thinking about all the other important
Recently, Keysight introduced the E5080B ENA vector network analyzer. It’s easy to look at the specs and get lost in the numbers, but seeing a real-world example gives the numbers meaning. So, I ran a
