ABSTRACT: The revised HA7000B series of phase noise analyzers from Holzworth is a featured product in the April 2013 issue of Microwave Journal. This article highlights some of the functions…
ABSTRACT: This application brief compares three methods for assessing amplifier linearity: third-order intercept, noise power ratio, and crest factor (with complementary cumulative distribution function - CCDF). The crest factor (CF)…
ABSTRACT: Design, Verification, and Troubleshooting of radar and communication systems often involves examining their up and downconverters. For example, if the overall system is exhibiting bit errors, or radar target…
ABSTRACT: The latest wireless standard referred to as Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) introduces new technologies to mitigate the shortcomings of previous generations. Consequently, these technical improvements challenge the capabilities of Wi-Fi testing,…
ABSTRACT: Capturing RF power measurements of an entire Wi-Fi data stream over an extended period can uncover critical waveform anomalies that may have otherwise gone unnoticed in tighter measurement windows.…
ABSTRACT: RF power measurements are often taken of an entire Wi-Fi data stream to catch important waveform anomalies, such as power droop, signal dropout, and pulse drift. However, sometimes it…
ABSTRACT: Wireless devices with multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) architectures utilize multiple transmitters and receivers to transfer large amounts of data simultaneously, improving capacity for wireless connections and decreasing congestion…
ABSTRACT: Wi-Fi 6 (also known as 802.11ax) is the latest generation of the Wi-Fi standard, anticipated to provide greater network efficiency, increased battery life, and improved operation in dense or…
ABSTRACT: Oftentimes it is necessary to take measurements of a pulsed signal over an extended period of time. This is important, for instance, in the test and measurement of high-power…
ABSTRACT: GaN or GaAs, TWT or Klystron - Testing High Power Amplifiers for RADAR Signals using Peak Power MetersMeasuring and characterizing pulsed RF signals used in radar applications present unique…
ABSTRACT: Due to increased domestic air travel and threats to National security it is important that our Aviation RADAR systems function properly. The current airwaves are filled with many natural…
ABSTRACT: This article was written for Microwave Journal's February 2011 issue to provide supplemental information on how the incorporation of the cross correlation function into phase noise analysis achieves extremely…
