Most oscilloscopes these days offer from 25 to 50 automated basic measurements with optional measurements for specialized analysis running close to 100. With all this measurement horsepower available ...
No instrument, whether in the time or frequency domains, is suitable for all use cases. Signal/spectrum analyzers shine for ensuring standards conformity. Oscilloscopes tend to be more versatile, ...
Several years ago, my team was given an assignment to measure RF radiation from Low Power CMOS ICs. In this article, I’ll describe the setup we designed and some of the problems we overcame to measure ...
RF signal observation has evolved from yesteryear’s spectrum analyzer to today’s RF recorder. Swept spectrum analyzers, FFT analyzers, and real-time signal analyzers all had limitations. Today’s RF ...
