If you want to analyze an antenna, you can use simulation software or you can build an antenna and make measurements. [All Electroncs Channel] does both and show you how you can do it, too, in the ...

A frequency response analyzer ('FRA') is often used to measure gain and phase plots of control loops (Bode plots), filter responses and general frequency domain transfer functions. The FRA generally ...

Vector network analysis is critical to ensuring the quality of microwave components manufactured for wireless communications systems. If you are designing or manufacturing microwave components, you ...

If you’ve done any amount of electronic design work, you’ll be familiar with the need for decoupling capacitors. Sometimes a chip’s datasheet will tell you exactly what kind of caps to place where, ...

On visiting a high-performance GaAs fab, I was shown a problem with the measurement system. The on-wafer test system was calibrated using a power meter and on-wafer standards, using the built-in ...
