Test & Equipment

The Tektronix 2 Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscope is a major advancement in test and measurement performance, versatility and portability.

Anritsu Corporation is pleased to announce its enhanced partnership with Bluetest AB of Sweden, offering a new unified test solution for Over-The-Air (OTA) measurement of 5G mobile terminals. Anritsu and Bluetest have long been working closely for LTE/5G FR1 (Sub-6 GHz band) and FR2 (mmWave) CATR OTA measurements with Bluetest’s RTS65 OTA Reverberation Test System, […]

eSIM on the path of becoming mainstream In recent years the telecom industry has seen the emergence of a new type of SIM card, the embedded SIM, or eSIM; essentially a UICC (Universal Integrated Circuit Card) soldered onto the circuit board which cannot be removed. The use of eSIMs has been driven by two types […]

Compact 4x-724 family enables scalability of high-performance RF switching systems and reduces test cycle duration

Billions of people are facing sleep problems. According to scientific research*, about one billion people alone suffer from sleep apnea, an interrupted breathing during the night. This is leading to various health consequences including snoring, daytime fatigue, along with more difficult issues such as heart problems and diabetes. Diagnosing sleep apnea is challenging and often […]

Switching to 200V and 0.8A with bandwidths of 1.6GHz and 700MHz

We are experiencing an explosive growth in demand for bandwidth that pushes the carrier frequencies to multiple decades of gigahertz. At these extremely high frequencies, consumers can enjoy wider bandwidths without the fear of overcrowding the spectrum. However, as the frequencies increase, the instrumentation solutions targeting these devices and frequencies can become extremely complex. This stems from the need for an order of magnitude better performance in instrumentation solutions to prevent impairing the device under test. In this article, we will review several methods for low phase noise signal generation. We will demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of these methods and introduce the translation loop device, which takes the best of all frequency generation methods without their complexity to enable ultralow phase noise signal generation.
