The Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A has been upgraded with 5G Protocol Test functions. The upgrade uses NR (New Radio) Fading software that, when implemented with built-in baseband fading tests, allows the MT8000A to support 3GPP TS 38.521-4 B.1/B.2 V15.0.0-compliant 5G NR channel (TDL) model tests. With the software, the MT8000A can conduct fading tests […]
Pocketable RF signal source provides test signals with or without PC connection
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 […]

The 98x Series of Teraohmmeter/Insulation Resistance testers are designed to meet the emerging higher voltage requirements of electric vehicle battery systems and solar arrays. The 981i offers an output voltage range of up to 6.5 kV and the 983i has a maximum output of 11 KV. Built upon the same DSP technology that has established […]
T&M gear supports PCI Express 5.0 physical-layer testing
The new Teledyne LeCroy QPHY-PCIE5-TX-RX physical-layer software option for LabMaster 10Zi-A series oscilloscopes provides: Automated receiver-test calibration for jitter-tolerance testing at the full 32 GT/sec PCIe 5.0 rate. While existing solutions can take up to a full day to calibrate before even starting the test, the Teledyne LeCroy calibration will be completed in a fraction […]
2×2 MIMO software helps measure IEEE802.11ac WLAN equipment in real-world settings
Anritsu Co. has come out with 2×2 MIMO Measurement Software MX886200A-010 that extends the measurement capability of its Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A. With the software installed, the MT8862A is said to be the world’s first solution that supports output signal quality, transmit power, receiver sensitivity, and 2×2 MIMO measurements on IEEE802.11ac WLAN equipment under […]
Measuring clock and oscillator frequency
A clock may refer to an oscillator that has been designed to provide a timing signal to facilitate operation of one or more synchronous processors. In contrast, asynchronous operation does not require a clock because each step initiates upon completion of a prior step. It is potentially faster than synchronous operation because there is not […]
Handy test equipment for troubleshooting
Not all test equipment needs to be expensive. Here are a few helpful tools that won’t break the bank. Electricians doing residential, commercial or industrial work need to know with absolute certainty whether a wire or terminal is live and whether a given piece of electrical equipment is energized at the power input terminals. Usually, […]
How to measure electrolytic capacitors
Electrolytic capacitors are often used because they deliver relatively large capacitance values in a physically small package. The compact packaging is possible because they use a thin dielectric layer in conjunction with an etching or sintering process that vastly increases the area of the plates and the capacitance associated with them. Most capacitors have two […]
