Impedance measurements with vector network analyzers require maximum precision. The R&S®ZNL Vector Network Analyzer from Rohde & Schwarz is able to characterize a broad range of impedances with the lowest uncertainty among its competitors in the same class. It is a 3-in1 allrounder. Get more insights and register for our content.

Temperature impacts the performance of almost all electronic devices. This is a critical factor when the device is part of a measuring instrument. RF & µW power sensors are used to ensure the validity of test systems by providing accurate power measurements across broad frequency ranges and power levels. 

This eBook covers almost everything you need to know about testing and verification for 5G from devices to systems from an RF perspective. Rohde & Schwarz authored most of these informational articles with Microwave Journal plus an additional article from Maury on load pull. The articles discuss important features of 5G such as spectral and energy efficiency along with Dynamic Spectrum Sharing; specific test solutions such as drone testing of 5G systems and on wafer load pull measurements at mmWave frequencies; testing and digital optimization for Doherty power amplifiers; and 5G test systems including a one box solution and hardware/software for 5G OTA testing.

With the emergence of highly capable, low-cost, wirelessly controlled drones, bad actors can easily execute disruptive operations, such as airport intrusions or surveillance abuse. Read how SkySafe rapidly prototyped and deployed a cutting-edge software defined radio (SDR)-based drone defense system on USRP, delivering industry-leading capability faster and at a much lower cost to the government.

Today’s digital designs and high-speed data converters require clean clocks with minimal jitter. The R&S®SMA100B produces cleanest signals, which are ideal as a clock source. Register and learn how to use our signal generator with the purest signal.

Combined with advances in phased-array antennas and integration technologies, radars are moving beyond military/aerospace markets to address a host of commercial applications. This primer showcases how NI AWR Design Environment provides designers with a host of modeling and simulation technologies needed to meet the challenges of all types of radar system design.

Signal integrity is becoming more and more important as digital signal speeds and analog frequencies are rapidly increasing making circuits much more sensitive to any losses or variations in the path. This eBook provides information and instruction on making accurate signal integrity measurements with emphasis on the VNA as a tool. The articles cover TDR, VNA measurements, impedance measurements, uncertainly in S-parameter measurements and development of a 1.35mm connector for E-Band cable assemblies.

In a world of exploding digital content, growing numbers of Internet users and connected IoT devices, there’s an insatiable need for ever expanding communication network capacity. To that end, Teledyne e2v, in its ongoing push to explore the boundaries of digital microwave sampling has recently demonstrated an experimental set-up. It provides direct digital down conversion from the K-band.

Frequencies in the mmWave spectrum will play a key role in 5G communications. RF technology that was developed around existing mmWave applications has evolved to encompass the needs of 5G wireless access.

Future technologies and standards will make over-the-air (OTA) testing mandatory. Measurement requirements will change and engineers need a basic understanding of antennas and antenna measurements. But how to get ready for OTA testing? Learn more with our extensive white paper.
