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
Handheld analyzers, the instrument of choice for engineers conducting RF and microwave tests in the field, offer a lot of conveniences. At the top of the list - access to all of the measurements you n
In an earlier post, “How to Generate Multi-Channel Phase-Stable and Phase-Coherent Signals”, I discussed a test system capable of providing multiple signals and a constant phase relationship between t
Testing multi-antenna systems, such as spatial diversity, Multi-input Multi-output (MIMO), and beamforming, requires a test system capable of providing multiple signals and a constant phase relationsh
Introduction When you are working on your design at the component level, you need to understand how each component will behave when used in its final design. For example, in most transceivers, there a
