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.

Learn best practices to help you leverage the capabilities of your signal generator and optimize your testing for the most accurate measurements. Download the two-part application note 9 Best Practices for Optimizing Your Signal Generator.

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.

High power amplifier combining has several unique challenges, this paper will show some of the advantages of using a complementary pair of 90-degree hybrids as the power dividing and combining network. In addition, advantages and tradeoffs this network configuration compared to the traditional in-phase networks will be detailed.

The Outphasing, Doherty and Envelope architectures have been known for many decades. More recently, significant research and development effort has been directed at these schemes themselves and also variants that hybridize, or use two (or more) of these techniques. This document provides a starting reference, supported by working measurement examples.

The R&S®SMW200A GNSS simulator offers an easy and convenient way to test your receiver design against a wide variety of potential interferers and jammers. Test cases extend from simple coexistence simulations to complex interference scenarios with localized emitters.

A non-blocking radio frequency (RF) matrix fits well with a traditional vector network analyzer (VNA) to save time, save money, and improve overall quality when performing RF characterization testing on multiple devices. In a non-blocking RF matrix, power dividers are used to distribute multiple RF input signals to multiple outputs simultaneously.

The right measurement applications can increase the functionality of your signal analyzer and reduce your time to insight with ready-to-use measurements, built-in results displays, and standards conformance tests. Download this eBook to learn about applications that can help you spend less time setting up measurements and more time evaluating your designs.

A new class of filter, which presents broadband matched impedance at it's ports, has recently been invented and made available. This new device, the reflectionless filter, has demonstrated a variety of benefits when used to replace conventional filters in a signal chain. This white paper briefly introduces the reflectionless filter and compares conventional filter and reflectionless filter behavior. Use cases are presented examining how reflectionless filters can improve system performance when used with mixers, ADCs, and receiver signal chains. Lastly, an experiment is described and test results presented to compare the conversion loss ripple in multiplier chains when reflectionless and reflective filters are used to filter spurious signals.
