RF signals historically are measured using spectrum analyzers, at least that was before oscilloscopes offered sufficient bandwidth for those measurements. With oscilloscope bandwidths over 100 GHz, RF ...

How to use DC-coupling for RF sampling ADCs. How to improve system linearity. Higher data rates in wireless communication systems and the use of narrower pulses in radars to resolve close targets ...

In intelligent sensing fields such as radar, machine vision, medical imaging, etc., the critical information used for decision making is often sparse. For example, a monosyllabic waveform requires ...

Rohde & Schwarz recently announced their MXO3 1 GHz bandwidth 12-bit oscilloscope [1], and I managed to get one to review.

Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) are essential in RF engineering, and Python has become a go-to language for automating their control, measurement, and analysis. From sending SCPI commands via PyVISA ...

The differences between conducted and over-the-air (OTA) testing. The hardware building blocks of a conducted RF test environment. The measurements to keep in mind when it comes to verification. From ...

Researchers demonstrated a novel technique to efficiently convert ambient low-power radiofrequency signals into DC power. This 'rectifier' technology can be easily integrated into energy harvesting ...

The system in Figure 2 uses the ADF4372 PLL (see Figure 5), a wideband synthesizer with integrated VCO, that allows the implementation of fractional-N or integer-N frequency synthesizers when used ...
