The data connection device under test in Figure 1 is characterized by comparing test signals sent into the link with signals measured at the link output. The differences between these two test signals ...

Minimizing reflections and signal losses in test systems associated with the design, manufacture, and production of RF products can be a complex challenge. In addition to issues such as cable and ...

A tough challenge for test engineers is explored in terms of test methods, pitfalls, and measurement errors. For the test engineer, RF and microwave power amplifier testing imposes unique challenges.

Some of the electrical signals we work with are said to be “floating” with respect to ground. A typical example might be a voltage drop over a shunt resistor in a power supply or a complex biomedical ...

An oscilloscope is usually the most sensitive, and arguably most versatile, tool on a hacker’s workbench, often taking ...

A key metric usually reported in operational amplifier and fully differential amplifier (FDA) datasheets is settling time to some accuracy. This is a relatively difficult specification to deliver and ...
