Several years ago, my team was given an assignment to measure RF radiation from Low Power CMOS ICs. In this article, I’ll describe the setup we designed and some of the problems we overcame to measure ...

In the process of debugging and validating both digital and RF designs, the oscilloscope Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) function and a variety of other math functions can prove valuable to designers ...

Figure 1 shows a typical modern communications signal chain. The signal to be transmitted is generated at baseband by a digital to analog converter. This signal is then mixed up to an intermediate ...

The Series 7 DPO oscilloscope from Tektronix is the company’s first new high-end model in years. It uses an optical port to ...

Tektronix today announced the 7 Series DPO oscilloscope, the first in a new generation of ultra-high-performance instruments.

It’s a problem that has dogged electronic engineers since the first electrons were coaxed along a wire: that measuring instruments can themselves disrupt the operation of a circuit. Older multimeters ...
