Figure 1 The harmonic mixer converts the DUT mm-wave (RF) to a predefined IF frequency. Harmonic Mixer Primer To overcome frequency limitations in available instrumentation, frequency extension accessories based on harmonic mixer technology are used to down convert the mm-wave spectrum into the signal analyzer's bandwidth for analysis. In...

Modern radars often require the use of wideband waveforms to perform high resolution target imaging. In microwave systems, the bandwidth can be on the order of 1.5 GHz, while in UHF systems that typically operate between 200 and 500 MHz, the waveform bandwidth might exceed 200 MHz. A major...

In many electronic assemblies today, thermal mismatch between the printed circuit board (PCB) and the ceramic components causes micro cracks in the solder joints. Several factors contribute to these cracks, notably component size, temperature variation, PCB material and solder material. A common result of these cracks is intermittent failures...
