Rohde & Schwarz launches the R&S FSVR family. The new FSVR real-time spectrum analyser from Rohde & Schwarz is the first to combine the functions of an all-purpose signal and spectrum analyser with a real-time spectrum analyser. In real-time mode, the R&S FSVR detects everything from sporadic events to ultrashort signals. Measurement without blind times is a major advantage for developers of RF components for commercial transmission systems such as LTE, WiMAX, WLAN,...
Common challenges in voltage switching
Designing an automated test system’s switching demands an understanding of the signals to be switched and the test to be performed, says Dale Cigoy. For example, the most appropriate switch cards and techniques to use in applications that entail switching voltage signals will depend on the magnitude and impedance of the voltages involved Mid-range voltage switching Mid-range applications (1 to 200 V) often involve switching a voltmeter or voltage...
