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.

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.

The white paper reviews basic microstrip topologies and covers the various types of structures used in filter designs. The advantages and disadvantages of each are covered to understand the important tradeoffs that occur with each filter type. It provides the critical information you need to know to work closely with a filter company to design appropriate filters for your needs.
