At application of wavelet transformation the wavelet width in tens times is less than width of one period of the basic frequency and meaningly changes with the purpose of revealing the smallest non-stationaries and huge advantage of this mathematical method actually consists in it.

For more than 40 years, S-parameters, or scattering parameters, have been among the most important of all the foundations of microwave theory and techniques. The communications revolution is inexorably forcing active components into more and more strongly nonlinear regimes of preration. X-parameters are the rigorous supersets of S-parameters that are applicable to linear and nonlinear components, excited by small and large-signal conditions

Tektronix, Inc. announced availability of the high-performance DPO70000B Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope (DPO) and DSA70000B Digital Serial Analyzer (DSA) Series. New «B» models provide the best vertical noise performance, flattest frequency response, and greatest effective number of bits (ENOB). Adding to the leading Pinpoint™ Trigger system, the new models also provide the fastest available hardware-based pattern triggering for advanced serial data bus speeds at rates up to 5 Gb/s. The DPO/DSA70000B Series maximize design margins through the industry’s best signal integrity and signal fidelity. Signal integrity is assured through end-to-end bandwidth from the probe tip to the oscilloscope using Tektronix TriModeTM Probes. The P7500 TriMode probe family now offers performance probes for 4, 6, and 8 GHz in addition to the previously available industry setting benchmark ultra-performance probes at 13, 16 and 20 GHz. The P7500 TriMode Series allows customers to quickly and easily switch between highspeed serial differential, single-ended, and common mode measurements at the push of a button

Televisions and computers are two of the most widely used technological instruments in the world and, therefore, greatly influence what society expects in its other devices. Large screens, thin profiles, and better connectivity are all key selling points for many of the televisions and PCs currently being sold on the market. As consumers become more and more accustomed to seeing these features, they demand similar qualities in their other display devices. Oscilloscope manufacturers are keeping up with this customer demand by implementing many of the design features seen in the modern televesion and PC markets in their oscilloscopes

Most high-speed serial data links use clock information embedded in the data, so software clock recovery is required for any higher level analysis of the information. To measure jitter or eye diagrams, real-time oscilloscopes must recover the clock from the data. This article discusses the many variables that the user has in their control to derive the correct measurements and insights using software clock recovery

When selecting an oscilloscope for a specific measurement, the first thing that most of us consider is the bandwidth required to accurately represent our signals. The oscilloscope's bandwidth tells us what spectral frequencies will be preserved and the maximum transition speeds that can be measured. In this article we briefly explore the relationship between bandwidth, sample rate and memory depth. As a result we will understand the tradeoffs involved and how we can mitigate them to make measurements with more confidence

The new R&S® ES-SCAN precompliance software is a user-friendly and cost-efficient tool for computer-controlled EMI measurements with the R&S® ESPI3 and R&S® ESPI7 test receivers. It simplifies and speeds up both lab-based precompliance measurements and the preparation for the final certification measurement.
The computer-controlled measurement sequence ensures the reproducibility of results. The graphical user interface is simple and logical in structure and allows immediate access to the program functions. Even first-time or occasional users can easily and confidently operate the precompliance software and fully concentrate on their measurement task

This article describes easy approach of determination and analysis of failed equipment when using IR-Fusion technology. Identifying location of a problem in a featureless or confusing visible image and how IR-Fusion technology shows and infrared problem area in a visible picture.
Thermographers have always wanted an infrared camera that produces images with both a wide field of view (FOV) and detailed spatial resolution. An infrared-only camera with this combination is prohibitively expensive for most applications. A less expensive way of providing both features in a single camera is to blend a wide FOV visible image with a smaller FOV infrared image. The major benefit of this combination is that thermographers can pinpoint and identify infrared problemareas ina clear visible picture. Maintenance technicians now have a direct correlation between a visible picture and an infrared identified problem area. A commercial camera with IR-Fusion technology has been available since May, 2006. This paper describes thermography examples that benefit from this combination
