In order to provide customers with a lightweight, compact, low cost alternative to high-end laboratory-grade instruments, AnaPico has developed the APSIN signal generator product line. The latest addition is the APSIN20G, which is a portable instrument that completes the product family with an instrument that extends the frequency coverage...

Spectro VNA™ vector network analyzer software brings the power of joint time-frequency domain processing to vector network analyzers (VNA). Many microwave engineers are familiar with joint time-frequency domain processing from spectrogram displays on vector signal analyzers. Spectrograms display the magnitude of a signal as a function of both time...

INTEGRATED Engineering Software has released CHRONOS, its new time domain solver and high frequency tool for modeling and simulating 3D RF and microwave applications. Its easy-to-use interface enables design engineers to model the geometry and assigns its physical properties, providing fast and accurate results in both time domain and...

Stanford Research has developed a DC to 4 GHz high performance, affordable RF source, the SG384 4 GHz RF signal generator. The SG384 uses a unique, innovative architecture (Rational Approximation Frequency Synthesis) to deliver ultra-high frequency resolution (1 μHz), excellent phase noise (-116 dBc/Hz SSB phase noise at 20...

Orange Book of Knowledge AR has recently released the fourth edition of The Orange Book of Knowledge. The book contains articles and application notes on a wide range of topics and applications, including a reference guide for coaxial connectors and cables and harmonic measurement for IEC 61000-4-3.

As the automobile industry bounces back from the great recession, manufacturers are designing their next generation of cars with an eye on fuel economy and telematics (information and communication technologies). Increasingly, the cars being designed today represent the latest frontier in the wireless revolution. While luxury cars have been...

The term electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) often conjures up images of FCC test labs, computing and/or wireless devices. However, in the automotive industry, the unintentional creation and reception of electromagnetic fields, a definition of electromagnetic interference (EMI), is becoming an ever greater concern. As automobiles become mobile hotspots and as...

A key challenge in automotive product design is the compliance to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and interference (EMI) requirements in a cost-driven project environment. Traditionally, EMC and EMI issues are solved in the EMC lab, often without getting a full understanding of the underlying effects. The adoption of 3D field...

Electronic components are increasingly critical in the safety and functional features of automotive vehicles. Moreover, the world is also increasingly connected through electromagnetic communications. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of various electronic parts internal to automobiles as well as compatibility to the environment that they operate in are becoming more challenging...

Anritsu Co. has developed the ME7838A broadband vector network analyzer (VNA) system that provides single-sweep coverage from 70 kHz to 110 GHz with operation from 40 kHz to 125 GHz, and utilizes an advanced design that eliminates the need for large, heavy millimeter-wave (mmWave) modules and coax combiners. The...
