The importance of properly integrating test points into a PCB design. Test-point deployment considerations. When it comes to creating a modern electronic design, we live in both the best and the worst ...

Designing and testing communications systems with analog baseband I/Q (BBIQ) circuits can be a challenge for RF engineers. The goal is to make traditional signal-analysis measurements in the spectral ...

Engineers designing RF systems at millimeter wave frequencies face exponentially increasing challenges as losses compound, parasitics dominate, and system integration becomes critical.

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 ...

An accumulation of factors within a test system can produce unacceptable waveform distortion, casting doubt on the validity of the test results. Present RF immunity standards do not stipulate waveform ...

It’s a problem that has dogged electronic engineers since the first electrons were coaxed along a wire: that measuring instruments can themselves disrupt the operation of a circuit. Older multimeters ...
