This application note explains Vector Network Analyzers and S-parameter measurements using time domain in the software. This paper contrasts frequency and time domain analyses, including Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) for time domain representation. The text discusses applications such as impulse response, Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR), and Time Domain Gating for improved measurement accuracy.
Every RF/Microwave system level design engineer searches for the “silver bullet” component solution that will be the key enabler for ALL performance specification requirements. A “silver bullet” can be defined as the single perfect solution to many complicated problems. For today’s RF/Microwave receiver system design engineers, Teledyne e2v’s EV10AS940 10 Bit, 12.8 GSPS ADC (with internal DDC) is the ultimate “silver bullet.”
A common RF SOI switch phenomenon is low frequency power de-rating. This phenomenon is due to the gate resistance and gate capacitance; and can be extended by tuning one or both of those values. The trade-offs involved in tuning the low frequency power de-rating will be discussed in this paper.
Plasma trails created by hypersonic vehicles passing through the atmosphere create challenges for radar detection and radio communication through the plasma layer. This paper discusses the FDTD method to simulate the behavior of plasma materials using Remcom’s XFdtd 3D EM Simulation solver and presents validation in one and three dimensions.
Demonstrating the scale manufacturing capabilities of Fortify’s RF manufacturing platform, this white paper explores the performance repeatability of 62 mm (2.44”)diameter Luneburg lenses produced by Fortify in a production environment. Boresight gain measurement of the lenses demonstrated a standard deviation of 0.06 dB across the manufacturing batch.
