TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

  • Certium VCS Test System For Aircraft Manufacturers

    New aircraft need to have their radiocommunication systems tested with compact voice communication systems like CERTIUM VCS. This is cost-effective, space-saving, and scalable thanks to its IP-based infrastructure.

  • Qorvo Biotechnologies Sensor-Based Technology Provides Rapid Reference-Lab Quality Tests At Point-of-Care

    This white paper describes Qorvo Biotechnologies’ Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) immunosensor detection platform designed for point-of-care applications and describes analytical and functional sensitivity testing on human Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (hTSH) as an example. The Qorvo Biotechnologies’ platform is targeted to be central lab matched, with the goal of providing clinicians data that will enable quicker decision making across multiple disease states, such as in cardiac and infectious disease segments, where time to result and high performance are critical factors in the patient care workflow.

  • RF Testing On Automotive Infotainment Devices

    This application note highlights some of the RF measurement challenges and introduces Rohde & Schwarz equipment required for relevant RF characterization of car infotainment devices.

  • Application Fixture For Counter-IED Power Amplifier Applications Using Two CG2H40010F GaN HEMTs

    Wolfspeed developed an application circuit that demonstrates the CG2H40010F's ability to operate between 500 MHz to 3000 MHz for satcom applications. This app note describes typical performance and what can be expected when evaluating the application fixture.

  • Introduction To PIM Testing

    Passive Intermodulation (PIM) is a distortion that can occur when electrical nonlinearities within a system act as unintentional mixers at cell sites, communications satellites, and in wireless networks.

TEST & MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

Advanced Control Components is your source for custom PIN diode and GAASFET-based switch matrices. With complete design and test capability to 40 GHz, we have the resources to help you develop a new design, build to an existing specification, or replace an obsolete component

The MA24218A is a power sensor designed with “triple path” architecture that provides True-RMS measurements for CW, multi-tone, and digitally modulated signals from 10 MHz to 18 GHz over 80 dB of dynamic range. The sensor employs high-performance digital processing which enables measurement speeds of >1,600 continuous power readings/s continuous and >11,000 buffered readings/s. It is intended to be used to increase throughput and reduce cost-of-test in any lab, high-volume manufacturing and field environment.

This direct digital synthesizer (DDS) features an internal high speed/high performance 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and is ideal for use in radar and scanning systems, test and measurement equipment, and agile LO frequency synthesis applications.

Maury Microwave's HGT™ High-Gamma Tuners™ typically achieve a VSWR of 200:1 (100:1 minimum), making them ideal automated tuners for high-power and on-wafer GSM applications...

The Bird Directional Power Sensor (DPS) is the most flexible RF sensor on the market today. With this Dual-Socket,Thruline® sensor, you may select from a wide range of Bird Elements to tailor the unit to your needs over a wide range of frequencies and power levels. Also, select field changeable input and output RF connectors from dozens of types including [N, BNC, HN, 7/16 DIN].

Narda Safety Test Solutions, an L-3 Communications (NYSE: LLL) company introduces the Nardalert S3 RF and Microwave safety monitor; the world’s most accurate, versatile non-ionizing radiation (NIR) monitor for wearable and fixed-area monitoring applications. The Nardalert S3 detects electromagnetic (EM) radiation levels from 100 kHz to 50 GHz, and is the successor to the Nardalert XT, the industry-standard in wearable NIR monitors used by more commercial, aerospace and defense, and industrial organizations than all other instruments combined.

Radar simulation systems (i.e., RF sources and/or receivers) must perform to an exacting minimum standard if they are to accurately prove the field worthiness of EW systems.
