A new version of the USB spec puts additional demands on testing regimes that wring out power-handling options. David Maliniak | Teledyne LeCroy Since its official debut in 1996, the Universal Serial Bus (USB) protocol has seen numerous revisions spanning three generations of the standard, with USB 4.0 waiting in the wings for later in […]
What you should know about Wi-Fi 6 and the 6-GHz band
While there are still interference issues to be resolved, new specifications for Wi-Fi in the 6-GHz band will bring instantly better wireless performance. Eve Danel | LitePoint Wi-Fi technology turns 20 this year, and it has proven to be successful beyond the wildest expectations. The recent announcement by the FCC to consider allowing 1,200 MHz […]
Will 5G be lethal?
Leland Teschler, Executive Editor Peruse a certain kind of website these days and you’ll find warnings about the lethality of RF transmissions in the frequency ranges slated for 5G networks. One site quotes Devra Davis, director of the Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology of the U.S. National Research Council, who warns that our sweat […]
Web-based jitter measurement utility gives product designers critical timing test results in minutes
The new Jitter Measurement Utility is a web-based, fully automated tool that enables designers to quickly and easily evaluate the jitter and phase noise performance of their custom clock configurations without using their own test equipment. “The need for higher timing performance is being driven by the introduction of new technologies such as 5G, mmWave, […]
New phase-noise test system works up to 40 GHz with offsets from 0.01 Hz to 160 MHz internally
A new phase-noise measurement system for “power users” helps optimize and prove the performance of new designs, meet operational requirements, as well as remain on schedule and on budget. Phase noise is an unwanted phase modulation noise that emerges in nearly all radio frequency and microwave devices including oscillators, mixers, dividers, multipliers and amplifiers. Power […]
Web-based approach automates waveform data acquisition, screenshot captures, analytics, data visualization for scopes
Instruments from RIGOL Technologies are now integrated into GradientOne’s test automation cloud platform to simplify the day-to-day tasks of test engineers ranging from hobbyists to enterprise users. GradientOne frees test engineers from the high cost of developing and maintaining test data analysis solutions by providing a cloud-based platform for remote control, data acquisition, single system […]
Economical vector signal generator features 40 MHz bandwidth
The VSG60A vector signal generator offers the performance and agility of a serious vector signal generator at a fraction of the cost. A low phase noise, agile local oscillator with a 200 μsec switch time enables frequency hopping spread spectrum testing, and a dual 14-bit DAC runs at 2x or 3x the I/Q symbol rate […]
Gallery: Interesting instruments on display at PCIM Europe
PCIM Europe is often proclaimed to be the world’s leading exhibition and conference for power electronics, intelligent motion, renewable energy, and energy management. Recently finishing up in Nuremberg, the exhibition floor of PCIM featured over 500 booths. Here are some of the more notable test & measurement we saw in touring the event. NEXT PAGE: […]
ARINC 429 boards incorporate 24 communication channels
The DNx-429-516 ARINC 429 interface is for use with UEI’s Cube and RACKtangle chassis. With 24 RX and 16 TX channels coupled to a high-performance FPGA, the board provides unprecedented flexibility to record, playback, process, and test their ARINC-429 traffic. The DNx-529-516 board supports high speed (100 kHz) and low speed (12.5 kHz) operation, selectable […]
Keysight labs get highest accreditation level for cal services, ISO/IEC 17025
Keysight Americas’ 19 service centers in the U.S., Brazil, Canada and Mexico have received accreditation for the 2017 version of ISO/IEC 17025 by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), the largest multi-disciplinary accreditation body in North America. ISO/IEC 17025 is the primary international standard for establishing laboratory competence and quality. The latest version of the […]
