The VSG2G5C RF Vector Signal Generator is a cost-effective pocketable USB-connected RF signal source with capabilities that provide standalone and PC-controlled functions comparable to full-size analog RF signal generators. Offering frequencies from 100 Hz to 1 MHz (low-band) and 100 MHz to 2.5 GHz (RF band) with a frequency resolution of 1 Hz, this handy […]
Poor earth ground on satellite dishes can put you in orbit
In a satellite dish, as sometimes used to receive internet signals transmitted via satellite, the signal transmitted by a satellite transponder is reflected by and propagated through a circular or rectangular tube, which is part of the feedhorn. This tube, like all waveguides, has dimensions based on the wavelength of the signal. Its purpose is […]
How to measure current and energy use accurately
General-purpose test equipment can have trouble measuring small currents, particularly if they only happen briefly. New specialized instruments go a long way toward solving this problem. Matt Liberty | Jetperch LLC The direct measurement of current is difficult. It’s usually impractical to count individual electrons, so the two primary techniques for measuring current actually measure […]
Remote Communication with USBTMC
Simple connections employing USB can replace more expensive GPIB setups in test instrumentation. Aaron Fernando, B&K Precision Corp. Engineers from a variety of industries use USB and USBTMC (USB Test & Measurement Class) to remotely control test and measurement instruments from a host computer. It is useful to compare USBTMC to the widely used GPIB […]
Fast interconnect analyzer reveals time- and frequency-domain details in a single acquisition
The WavePulser 40iX high-speed interconnect analyzer allows high-speed hardware designers and test engineers to characterize and analyze interconnects and cables for high-speed serial protocols such as PCI Express, HDMI, USB, SAS, SATA, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, Gigabit Ethernet, and Automotive Ethernet. Until now, interconnect testing and validation has been bifurcated between time- and frequency-domain testing. For […]
Non-contact handheld scanner inspects wire
The Aeroel HWS.2 Handy Wire Scanner is the world’s first non-contact handheld optical micrometer for measurement of wires, cables and other similar products. The scanner features an embedded display which provides a 3D visualization for placing the wire within the measurement area and to display the measurement result. The measurement cycle is initiated by the […]
