Coupled with built-in, easy-to-use, at-location frequency and power calibration capability, Rubidium offers exceptional overall utility and long-term value in a broad range of commercial and military/aerospace […]
Test Equipment
Radome tester features fast, accurate, economical measurements
The new R&S QAR50 from Rohde & Schwarz is a candidate for measuring radomes and bumpers in production. The tester’s innovative design ensures short measurement times and accurate, reproducible results with a very attractive price/performance ratio. A highly modular software concept allows the R&S QAR50 to be adapted to individual requirements. Advanced driver assistance functions […]
DIO card completes PCIe instrument family
Spectrum instrumentation’s family of PCIe instrument cards also includes digitizers and waveform generators. Automated test systems often need to generate and measure analog signals. They often need to provide digital I/O for status monitoring and control of test hardware or industrial process equipment. With the addition of the M2p.7515-x4 digital I/O card, Spectrum Instrumentation completes […]
Choosing the right amplifier
Amplifiers come in all shapes and sizes. The key characteristic of virtually every amplifier is its 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. […]
Economy VNAs feature units up to 20 GHz, independent CW sources for low-frequency models
Four new R&S ZNL and R&S ZNLE vector network analyzers can support up to 20 GHz of operation frequency. The economy VNAs now have the frequency range necessary to investigate even third harmonics for 5 GHz and 6 GHz band technologies, such as wireless LAN or mobile radio. The latest firmware release also includes a […]
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 […]
Ethernet tester includes 5 GHz WLAN support
The NetXpert XG2 Ethernet tester offers many of the same benefits and capabilities as the flagship NetXpert XG with the addition of several new hardware features, including 5GHz wireless local-area network (WLAN) support. Like the NetXpert XG, the NetXpert XG2 performs Bit Error Rate Tests (BERT) from 100 megabytes (MB) to 10 Gb regardless of […]
Music synthesis and arbitrary waveform generators
A pure musical note from a tuning fork is a basic sine wave. The same note played on a trumpet will look like a saw-tooth wave when displayed on an oscilloscope. The same note from a flute will be a triangular wave. But the same note from a clarinet may appear to be closer to […]
Instrumentation handles functional test of electric motor components
The LT400 system is a laboratory windings quality analyzer system designed to perform partial discharge (PD) measurements on components such as coils, motors, generators, etc. With the LT400, companies can perform standard high voltage tests (AC and Pulse) with PD measurements allowing the discovery of defects not detectable with the standard tests. The LT400 integrates […]
Immersive e-learning platform for R&D leaders and engineers
Keysight University is an interactive online platform for engineers to learn about test and measurement fundamentals, engineering design tips and best practices in their industries. As Keysight’s expansive customer base of engineers and R&D leaders look to keep pace with emerging technologies such as cellular 5G, quantum and connected cars, the company created an immersive […]
