With so much attention on IBOC, it is appropriate to step back and review the basic principles of RF amplifiers. The radio transmitter is a collection of stages. Each stage modifies the signal in some ...

Evaluating S-parameters and other CW stimulus responses is essential for characterising rf amplifiers. An rf vector network analyser (VNA) plays a critical role for this purpose, and proper ...

Often underestimated, RF field probes are critical to the implementation of a proper radiated immunity test system. All too often, system specifiers gloss over this essential element after having ...

The 2006 International Test Conference is scheduled for the week of October 22 in Santa Clara, CA. For more on this year’s ITC, read our interview with program chair Anne Gattiker. Semiconductor test ...

These days we’re surrounded by high-speed electronics and it’s no small feat that they can all play nicely in near proximity to each other. We have RF emissions standards to thank, which ensure new ...

UPDATE: Agilent have informed us that the 2nd of October date is now full, but they have added another day with the same schedule – Tuesday 27 November. Agilent Technologies is running another full ...
