IMS 2024 roundup: test equipment
Washington, DC — The 2024 International Microwave Symposium took place here in June at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. As always, RF/microwave/mmWave test equipment was all over the exhibit hall. Frequency-domain test equipment — spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers, power meters, and signal generators — were, of course, dominant. Other equipment, such as oscilloscopes […]
Function, arb generators and multimeters enhance test equipment lines
RIGOL Technologies is expanding its family of ultra-portable instruments with the introduction of the DG800 Pro and DG900 Pro Series Function / Arbitrary Waveform Generators, along with the DM858 Series Digital Multimeters. Like their predecessors—the DHO800 and DHO900 Series High-Resolution Oscilloscopes—these new generators and multimeters deliver impressive performance and functionality in a compact and light […]
How to locate EMI emissions with near-field probes: Part 3
Part 3 of a series on using near-field probes for detecting EMI sources shows you how to set up a spectrum analyzer and how to detect emissions problems. Now that we’ve discussed the theory of measuring near-field emissions (Part 1) and how to use near-field probes (Part 2) to make the measurements let’s discuss how […]
Multi-channel coherent microwave RF source hits 20 GHz
A new RF Microwave Generator, the DSG5000 Series, can generate up to 20-GHz carriers with high signal fidelity. These new generators are available with two, four, six, or eight independent RF channels packaged in a single 2U full width mainframe. The DSG5000 Series features impressive long term phase stability between channels of ±1 degree and […]
Linear dc power supply excels with low current measurements
The DP2000 is a completely new benchtop power supply that features three fully isolated channels with automatic internal series and parallel connections and an intuitive 4.3-in touch screen. The DP2000 delivers high resolution for measuring low-range currents down to 1 µA, a high-speed sampling mode, an arbitrary output mode with a 1-msec dwell time, and […]
New 12-bit high-def oscilloscopes target high-speed signal integrity applications
