Radar test system optimized for automotive ADAS apps

November 15, 2019 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

VRTS_4

A 4-GHz Vehicle Radar Test System (VRTS) helps engineers test advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) by simulating objects in a repeatable and accurate way. The massive automotive industry shift towards 79 GHz radar has reduced the cost of radar-based safety features like autonomous emergency braking (AEB) and rear cross-traffic alert (RCTA). The main advantage of […]

The difference between a pulse generator, a signal generator, an AFG, and an AWG

August 27, 2019 By David Herres 1 Comment

There are a variety of instruments available to generate electronic signals these days. They go by different names and provide different kinds of outputs. Differences between the various kinds of instrumentation aren’t always obvious, so here is a short primer. Signal generators make available at their outputs sinusoidal waveforms with a settable frequency or amplitude. […]

New features and functionality for LabVIEW test automation software

May 22, 2019 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

NI LabVIEW

New updates to the LabVIEW 2019 and LabVIEW NXG programs are said to increase developer productivity through improved visibility in the IDE, powerful enhancements in debugging, and new datatypes to the G-language. Additionally, LabVIEW 2019 addresses a critical pain point for engineers: managing dependencies and versioning with fragmented, non-standardized methods, which perpetuate as challenges in […]

New mmWave test setup designed to accelerate 5G commercialization

May 22, 2019 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

NI 5G

A mmWave Vector Signal Transceiver (VST) is designed to address the test challenges of 5G mmWave RFIC transceivers and power amplifiers. NI’s solutions use the mmWave VST, which combines an RF signal generator, an RF signal analyzer and integrated switching with 1 GHz of instantaneous bandwidth at frequencies up to 44 GHz. In addition to […]

Tools for optimizing circuit bias

May 15, 2019 By David Herres Leave a Comment

orcad

If a semiconductor or vacuum tube is to accurately reproduce or amplify signals on its input, it must have on its input a non-time-varying dc voltage, i.e. dc bias, the purpose of which is to keep the device in its linear operating range. Otherwise, the input signal to be reproduced may drive the device beyond […]

T&M pioneers among lastest group of Inventor Hall of Fame inductees

January 15, 2019 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

inventor hall of fame

The latest group of nineteen inductees making up the 2019 Class of the National Inventors Hall of Fame include two pioneers in the test and measurement field. Inductees Jeff Kodosky and James Truchard introduced LabVIEW in 1986 as a graphical programming language that enables user-defined testing and measurement and control systems. It grew to be […]
