Rail voltages are getting smaller, and tolerances are decreasing. As a result, making accurate power rail measurements has become much more difficult.
Industry dynamics are driving both a decrease in rail voltage values as well as tighter tolerances across a wide range of rails. Making an accurate ripple measurement...



True or false: 30 dBm + 30 dBm = 60 dBm? Why does 1% work out to be -40 dB one time but then 0.1 dB or 0.05 dB the next time? These questions sometimes leave even experienced engineers scratching their heads. Decibels are found everywhere, including power levels, voltages, reflection coefficients, noise figures, field...

Feed-forward headsets typically are more easily developed because the design engineer usually does not have to deal with stability issues. A major drawback of this topology, however, is wind noise, since the ANC microphones are directly exposed to the ambient. An alternative that overcomes this drawback is the use of a...



Modern vehicles can contain over 100 ECUs controlling everything from the drivetrain to the ADAS systems. Each ECU needs to be tested individually as well as in conjunction with other components.
This white paper discusses the five main tester design challenges and five common approaches to ECU production test to...



Upcoming technologies such as 5G for wireless communications and the increasing amount of integrated electronic systems in modern vehicles require new solutions for EMC testing. In addition, manufacturers are looking for time saving test routines and intuitive test software that enable fast precompliance and compliance...



Weatherproofing options for coaxial connections at cell sites have changed and expanded along with the cell sites themselves. Today’s more complex cell site designs demand a new type of weatherproofing solution to protect vulnerable connection points at the antenna and the remote radio unit (RRU).
