Your wireless product’s end-to-end success dictates that your customers will rely on your antennas to perform well in their system. Most hardware and software is thoughtfully tested before sale or ...

While it’s seldom necessary (post-installation, anyway) to test the physical-layer behavior of a wired LAN infrastructure, the same cannot be said for wireless LANs. Many elements, including fading, ...

No doubt one of the most revolutionary tools for the RF side of broadcasting was the advent of the network analyzer. Prior to its invention, measuring the response of an antenna system was more or ...

The easiest way to envision a spectrum analyzer is to begin with an oscilloscope that plots magnitude versus time. Then swap frequency for time—and voilà—a spectrum analyzer! A gross simplification ...

Anritsu has announced a pair of cable and antenna analysers with options up to 6GHz, one with a spectrum analyser. “RF cable runs continue to be an integral part of radio communication base stations, ...

What is real-time spectrum analysis? Spectrum (FFT) vs. real-time mode for viewing spikes. What is needed to test for conducted and radiated emissions? If you’ve ever tried to perform ...

The one piece of gear that’s essential for EMC troubleshooting is a spectrum analyzer. You can buy a decent portable for about $10k or used ones go for $1k to $5k if you don’t mind the 30 to 80 pounds ...

Back in the 1960s, when I started working in radio broadcast engineering, an oscilloscope was my “eye” on what was happening with equipment. That tool served me well and is still in daily use in my ...
