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.

One very successful trick I use to simulate radiated immunity on the bench is to run an RF generator into an H-field (loop) probe. The best level seems to be +15 to +20 dBm. This will generate an ...

Over the years, tutorials have appeared in EMC journals explaining how to estimate the power required from a power amplifier intended for use in an RF immunity test system. Little material, if any, ...

As part of the BEYOND5 project, CEA-Leti was responsible for developing a RF power module (FEM) combining three essential RF functions: a power amplifier (PA), which amplifies transmitted signals; a ...

New scalable, cloud-based solution provides MFi developers with streamlined certification for SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) The solution reduces costs by eliminating the need for physical prototypes ...

Lowell, MA —A northeastern manufacturing city once known for its textiles is now the headquarters of Tyco Electronics, a maker of RF components and subsystems used in defense and aerospace ...

Implementation of the 5G radio frequency (RF) standard is increasing rapidly [1]. Over the past four to six quarters, there has been an increased focus on publications and products that have been ...

The IoT represents a rapidly growing market for which high-speed wireless connections suitable for various usage systems are indispensable. The arrival of digital transportation is accelerating this ...

A new generation radio-frequency (RF) Power Processing Unit (PPU) for the VASIMRâ engine, built for Ad Astra Rocket Company by Aethera Technologies Ltd. of Canada, has completed a full-power test in ...

Collaborations between colleges and electronics companies are growing to meet fast-changing engineering needs. In the latest collaboration, semiconductor test equipment supplier Advantest Corporation ...
