Oscilloscopes remain a hot topic on the RF DesignLine, so I had a virtual “sit down” with some leaders in the industry to see where the technology is, and where they think it is going. The following ...

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 ...

Developing an automated production test solution for current and next-generation complex RF SIP/SOC devices is an increasingly difficult task. Both the test program and the device interface board (DIB ...

RF testing for devices such as amplifiers and RFICs can be tedious work. Such devices work over a wide range of frequencies and power levels, and they must meet specifications over temperature and ...

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.

Engineers designing RF systems at millimeter wave frequencies face exponentially increasing challenges as losses compound, parasitics dominate, and system integration becomes critical.

Photonic computing represents not a radical departure from familiar territory, but rather a natural extension along the electromagnetic spectrum. The transition from gigahertz to hundreds of terahertz ...

Radio frequency (RF) engineering is the design of systems and components that use electromagnetic principles for the transmission and reception of information across wireless and/or wired channels. At ...

The test economics of state-of-the-art smartphones, tablets and routers demand highly parallel RF test. We are addressing this next wave in RF communications test, enabled by Wi-Fi 6E, operating in ...
