Understand the network diagram for VNA measurement error terms. What are the effects of various residual errors on the outcome of the measurement? Learn the only ...

You normally use TDR (time-domain reflectometry) to measure impedance change along a signal path (Reference 1). It is also a valuable tool for measuring propagation delays. The TDR technique is ...

Wireless communications products that depend on RF principles are everywhere these days, and the growth rate is astonishing. From cell phones and wireless PDAs to Wi-Fi-enabled laptops, Bluetooth ...

The real world of electronic measurements is not a nice place. Noise, interference, and unexplained offsets wreak havoc with you data acquisition. Take for example the measurement of an ultrasonic ...

Qualitas Semiconductor has selected the ShockLine MS46524B from Anritsu Corporation to enhance signal integrity verification for its high-speed interface IP development.

In the first half of this paper (Engineering Extra, Apr. 14), I discussed the need for an accurate antenna capable of repeatable measurements and presented the design of NPR Lab’s transportable ground ...

Have you heard recommendations to use a particular termination in particular situations for good signal integrity? Have you ever wondered how to incorporate terminations in your design? While there ...

THIS ARTICLE IS ABOUT VIRTUAL SATELLITES. No, we don’t mean physical objects that are almost satellites. That’s the common everyday meaning of the word virtual. We mean it in the sense used in ...

Physicists in the US have observed an effect known as time reflection in an electromagnetic wave for the first time. They detected the phenomenon – the temporal counterpart of familiar spatial ...
