Hi-rel RF limiters protect sensitive RF receiver components
Broadband, high power coaxial packaged limiters now include 13 unique models that are designed to help protect sensitive components in the receive chain and other microwave circuits in close proximity to high power signals. These RF limiters operate over a wide frequency range in bands from 0.2 GHz to 40 GHz and provide low leakage […]
The super-cold measurement science of superconductivity
Ordinary conductors such as copper and silver exhibit less resistance as the temperature drops. But even near absolute zero they still have some resistance. With true superconductivity, the resistance of certain materials drops to precisely zero when they hit a certain critical cold temperature. This type of superconductivity is a quantum mechanical process that involves […]
Modular opto-electronic network analyzer checks out optical components
The ME7848A Opto-electronic Network Analyzer (ONA) system is a flexible solution integrating the VectorStar vector network analyzer (VNA) with an O/E calibration detector and E/O converters that conducts cost-effective E/O, O/E and O/O measurements on optical devices operating at 850 nm, 1,310 nm, and 1,550 nm. Incorporating a modular approach, the ME7848A provides engineers with […]
