The author is a broadcast contract engineer who has a unique way of measuring the carrier frequency of the AM stations in his care. Making off-air frequency measurements of AM broadcast stations can ...

Today, high-speed digitizer systems operating above 100 MSa/s are being used in a diverse range of applications: operation of single-pulse linear induction accelerators for flash radiographic ...

Evaluating the error frequency responses of a fully differential amplifier can be difficult and time consuming if standard measurement techniques are used. This is ...

Many of today's high-speed serial designs use embedded clocks to avoid routing and timing issues involved with separate data and clock signals and to free up precious real estate on board designs.

The challenges of terahertz-band components and frequency measurement. How a sophisticated combination of optical and electronic components representing advanced principles are being used to measure ...

Frequency response measurements are a mainstay of RF communications design and generally considered a routine task—unless one of the device ports happens to be at I-Q baseband. Here, the convenience ...

A new method for measuring distance based on an optical frequency comb has been unveiled by physicists in the Netherlands. The main benefit of the technique, which involves passing the light from an ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have invented a miniature thermometer that could be used to monitor the cryogenic temperatures of processor chips in ...
