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.

Testing for failure with a multimeter is only partially effective, whereas a dedicated optocoupler testing circuit provides ...

In RF testing, an essential attribute of every RF signal generator is the maximum output power it can supply to a device under test (DUT) while maintaining spectral purity and level accuracy. The ...

As you can see, there are a number of variables and the answer is simply not that straight forward. When conducting amplifier measurements, we tend to be a bit more forgiving with receivers than multi ...

In a world of tight timelines and ever-increasing performance requirements, it’s critical to create circuit designs right the first time; thus, engineers in the analog and mixed-signal industry often ...
