Author(s):  McCarthy, Darren
Issue:  KIPiS 2007 #6
In this article, the basic measurement tasks required of RF tools are explored in order to establish the critical nature of time in digital RF. This leads to a review and comparison of approaches to signal discovery, triggering, capture and analysis. While a number of instruments are available for RF measurements, only the RTSA offers the triggering, capture and analysis features needed to go forward with emerging trends in RF design.

With its R&S ZVA series of RF VNAs, which offer an optional true-differential measurement mode, leading VNA supplier Rohde & Schwarz is coming to the rescue of RF design engineers who need new tools to deal with the RFIC revolution’s new measurement challenges. The new R&S ZVA TruDi option provides system designers with a valuable tool that allows them to measure key characteristics of differential devices. Designers can investigate the large signal behavior of these devices under real operating conditions.

In 2007 there was statistics published in different newspapers according to which the number of people killed in accidents turned to be overwhelming. Mass media asks anxious questions: Why do airplanes take off being out of order? Where do counterfeit spare parts come from? Are passengers “second hand” flights dangerous? What do the relatives of those killed in airplane crashes go to law for?
In “Catastrophical Phenomenon of 1985-1986”, which coincided with minimal solar activity, the number of victims of rocket-and-space technique gave its way to the victim number of aeronautical engineering and also the number of victims killed in car accidents which reached its record – 260000 people in 1985. In the following article the author tells about the metrological aspects as well as the role of measurement errors in the “catastrophical phenomenon”.

Typical oscilloscope’s banner specifications include bandwidth, sample rate, memory depth, and price. However, update rate is equally important because it characterizes the oscilloscope’s ability to capture both intermittent and repetitive events. A fast update rate is critical to oscilloscope’s ability to display intermittent signal anomalies, like a glitch.

Ultra Wide Bandwidth (UWB) wireless is a rapidly growing technology that promises to revolutionize low power, short-range wireless applications. UWB radios present a variety of specialized test demands. Wide signal bandwidths, short duration pulses and low transmit Power Spectral Densities make UWB testing difficult. However, advanced test instruments and dedicated measurement software now offer solid solutions to UWB test challenges. This article discusses how wireless engineers can maximize the advantages of UWB technologies while overcoming test complexities.

Design engineers have traditionally used both oscilloscopes and logic analyzers to test and debug mixed-signal embedded designs based on either microcontrollers (MCUs) and/or digital signal processors (DSPs). This article showed how a mixed signal oscilloscope (MSO) can be used to more effectively and efficiently turn on and debug embedded mixed-signal designs.

The mixed signal oscilloscope is a versatile ‘all in one’ mixed-signal design and debug tool for embedded designers. Built on oscilloscope platform that provides familiar and easy-to-use operation, the mixed signal instrument adds 16 digital channels and bus decoding capabilities to simplify the debug of mixed-signal designs without the complexity associated with the advanced features of logic analysers. Combining high performance with comprehensive support for monitoring, triggering, and decoding parallel and serial buses, the mixed signal oscilloscope simplifies operation and ensures measurement confidence for engineers needing to design, debug, and test their embedded designs more efficiently.
