Previous posts in this measurement uncertainty series addressed Waveform Discontinuity, Interpolation Shoot, Waveform Sampling Issues, I/Q Impairments, and phase noise. I discussed tactics for minimiz
Accurate microwave measurements are becoming increasingly necessary in harsh and hard-to-reach environments, in a wide range of conditions: day or night, rain or shine, hot or cold, on ship, in an air
Signal generators produce the signals that you need ranging from simple to complex, and from pure to dirty, to test your design. You use signal generators as a local oscillator (LO), a golden transmit
In previous posts, I discussed the source of errors in a baseband generator and strategies for eliminating these errors such as waveform phase discontinuity, interpolation overshoot, and sampling imag
In the digital world, a digital electronic system that is designed to process signals does not treat the signals continuously as they are in reality. Instead, the system uses “sample” to indicate the
It is common to find a gap between ideal conditions and reality. When you generate the desired signal, you need to understand that hardware implementation may cause a certain number of errors to the o
Test equipment characterizes design performance and verifies devices under test function. To be effective, test equipment must outperform the devices under test. Minimizing measurement uncertainty att
