Phase noise analyzer/VCO tester checks frequency, sensitivity, RF power, current draw versus tuning voltage
Rohde & Schwarz designed the new R&S FSPN phase noise analyzer and VCO tester for production and design engineers who characterize sources such as synthesizers, VCOs, OCXOs, and DROs. Providing high sensitivity and measurement speed, the R&S FSPN is a candidate for demanding phase noise and VCO analysis in development and production. The R&S FSPN […]
Analyzer/exerciser/jammer platform for PCI Express 5.0 handles multiple users
The VIAVI Xgig 5P16 platform now supports analyzer bifurcation and multi-user functionality, enabling multiple users and simultaneous tests on a single platform. These enhancements allow simultaneous protocol analysis for PCI Express® (PCIe) 5.0 data traffic at all layers of the stack, speeding time-to-market and controlling total cost of ownership (TCO) for development and production of […]
Broadband VNA system provides single-sweep coverage up to 125 GHz
The VectorStar ME7838AX/EX series is the first vector network analyzer (VNA) broadband system to offer single-sweep coverage up to 125 GHz/110 GHz with guaranteed and typical specifications. The VectorStar ME7838AX/EX system’s ability to sweep and provide characterized data through 125 GHz provide design engineers with the ability to significantly and confidently improve their device models […]
ARB waveform generators and measuring amplifier gain
When it comes to amplification, the principal parameters are gain and fidelity of the output relative to the input. Gain, denoted by β (Greek letter beta), is the ratio of output voltage, current or power to input. An amplifier by definition has a power gain greater than one. Measurements that characterize amplifier gain serve as […]
Analyzer captures isochronous traffic for Bluetooth audio development
Bluetooth protocol analysis systems now include tracking technology for full and accurate capture of isochronous traffic on connected and broadcast links, an innovative auto-detection capability built into a test-equipment grade integration of the power-friendly LC3 audio codec, and support for several new audio profiles. Bluetooth LE Audio uses a new isochronous physical channel to carry […]
Pocket-size spectrometer captures light data in real time
The photonfy pocket-sized spectrometer measures 92.8 (H)x38.2(W)x20.5 mm(D) and weighs 55 g. It makes CCT, Illuminance, irradiance, and flicker measurements. It can be used as a light quality spectral optimizer for making reports on CIE CRI, IES TM30-15/18, color icon, color spaces, ANSI color binning, etc. It can also provide health indicators: Equivalent Melanopic Lux […]

Handheld vector network analyzer works up to 26.5 GHz
The R&S ZNH is a full two-port handheld vector network analyzer up to 26.5 GHz with cable and antenna analysis and full S-parameter measurements. Both of these functions are included free of charge. The R&S ZNH is user-friendly, easy to configure and has a compact fanless housing for field applications. The R&S ZNH handheld vector […]
Measuring the behavior of electronic filters
Passive electronic filters are composed of one or more passive components including resistors, inductors and capacitors. In contrast, active electronic filters also contain an amplifier composed of transistors or op-amps. The point of electronic filters is to pass some frequencies while blocking others. Depending upon the configuration, they selectively attenuate high frequencies (low pass), low […]
