In choosing a way to mitigate electronic noise mitigation, it is necessary first to quantify it and ascertain its source. Thermal, also known as Nyquist or Johnson-Nyquist noise, is basis for many types of noise. It arises in all material objects to the extent that they are conductive. You can observe the effects of this […]

A day in the life: Five RF measurements for field engineers
A handful of basic techniques go a long way toward characterizing modern communication systems. Sarah Gross, Keysight Technologies Field engineers often find that every day presents its own special challenges. A typical work day may involve measuring a variety of devices or signals — cables, antennas, over-the-air 5G signals, or intermittent spurious signals. Successful completion […]
Test gear certifies wireless devices at 2.4 and 5 GHz
The new Keysight IOT0047A regulatory test solution enables customers to accelerate the certification of wireless devices that use the unlicensed bands at 2.4 and 5 GHz and achieve time-to-market goals. Wireless connectivity plays an important role in a hyperconnected IoT world. Every wireless device is subjected to comprehensive regulatory testing before it can enter the […]

Massively parallel board test system boosts throughput in a smaller footprint
The new i7090 massively parallel board test system is a new category of automated test equipment designed to perform tests in parallel, on multiple printed circuit board assemblies (PCBA), to achieve high-volume throughput which speeds time-to-market and reduces cost-of-test. Current systems on the market only support up to four cores in parallel. Customers must test […]
Basics of digital oscilloscope architecture
A digital storage oscilloscope (DSO) is characterized by the presence of a microprocessor, which is physically and functionally at the heart of the processing section. Other stages in the processor are the acquisition memory, at its input and the display memory at its output. The DSO’s signal paths (one for each channel) begin at the […]
