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.

Designed to both test and emulate 2G, 3G, and 4G systems, the 3410 series RF signal generators boast of being the first instruments to combine full-digital vector and analog modulation in a 2U-size ...

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 ...
