To minimize assembly complexity and maximize system performance it is desirable to integrate high frequency, high performance RF ICs (>60 GHz) onto mixed signal PCBAs which include many other functional blocks. These functional blocks may be RF amplifiers, mixers, switches, attenuators, filters, PLLs, but will also include power supplies, sensors, control circuitry, and digital circuitry.
In this whitepaper, explore the typical implementation of link emulators for low-Earth orbit (LEO) and other satellite paths, including trans-lunar orbits. Readers will also discover how 5G non-terrestrial network (NTN) modeling and emerging hardware-in-the-loop impairment modeling is driving the next generation of link emulators, such as the Maury Microwave ACE9600 Advanced Channel Emulator of the dBm product line. Lastly, this whitepaper will present a high-level overview of current industry 5G partnerships and broadband data networks..
As many aerospace and defense and satellite communication applications face new requirements to perform increasingly complex tasks with unwavering precision and reliability, the wider bandwidths and faster speeds available in the millimeter wave (mmWave) portion of the RF spectrum are becoming increasingly attractive.
Demonstrating the scale manufacturing capabilities of Fortify’s RF manufacturingplatform, this white paper explores the performance repeatability of 62 mm (2.44”)diameter Luneburg lenses produced by Fortify in a production environment. Boresightgain measurement of the lenses demonstrated a standard deviation of 0.06 dB acrossthe manufacturing batch.
This article explores the intricacies of improving time domain analysis in Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) through the utilization of the Inverse Chirp-Z Transform. Initially, it discusses the limitations encountered when employing conventional methods such as the Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform in Python for time domain conversion, highlighting issues of resolution and accuracy.
The design/construction of automated test equipment can significantly burden OEMs' engineering resources. This white paper discusses the critical challenges faced in RF and microwave tests and details three diverse build options and their corresponding pros and cons. It will help you understand the RF/Microwave strategy to ensure performance, scalability, and repeatability.
Extended Reality/Cross Reality (XR), whose use cases have expanded from the world of gaming, keeps growing and evolving while taking in diverse technologies. Its use cases have been spreading in business in recent years, with new applications developed for such areas as simulation, training, learning, and collaboration.
Operating within the 8.0–12.0 GHz frequency range, X-Band radar systems have proved vital across various industries, including meteorology, air traffic control, defense, and maritime services. Their exceptional resolution and accuracy make them indispensable in our technology-driven world.
Today’s Multifunction Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) systems are engineered and manufactured to simultaneously perform different operations, such as radar, electronic warfare (EW), and communications functions. One of the most critical elements of digitally reprogrammable multifunction AESA systems are the fixed-frequency sources.
Electromagnetic simulation time and memory are dependent upon the electrical size of the model being simulated. In this paper, analysis between simulation runtime and memory between Altair Feko’s full wave/asymptotic solvers and parallel processes is performed using aircraft models provided in UT Austin’s RCS Benchmark Suite.
