The response shape of a digital oscilloscope is a key factorin its ability to reduce errors in amplitude and rise time Specifications for digital oscilloscopes typically include dc accuracy, 3-dB ...

KAIST researchers tested optical frequency comb lasers as reference signals for radio astronomy, aiming to synchronize radio telescopes with light-based timing in VLBI observations.

[Jack] tipped us about a Crossed Bananas Display (CBD) he just designed. A CBD is a tuning aid for frequency-shift keyed (FSK) modes and is basically an oscilloscope in X-Y mode. At one time, ...

Get to really know the fundamentals behind your test equipment. Not only do you reap the most out of your scopes, etc. as well as avoid debugging traps—it can also facilitate a “spec hack.” Everyone ...

Frequency response is defined as: A measure of the effectiveness with which a circuit, device, or system transmits the different frequencies applied to it. It is a phasor whose magnitude is the ratio ...

If you’ve been tuned in to Electonic Design’s articles this past year in the test & measurement arena, you’re probably aware of a series by Colin Mattson (Keysight Technologies) on advanced ...

Let’s say a corporate engineer or a consultant is coming to your station to diagnose and repair a problem using an RF spectrum analyzer. This would be a great time to schedule a meeting with your ...
