Capture Elusive RF Signals with Advanced Software for Handheld Spectrum Analyzers Tuesday, November 26, 2024 par : Alejandro Buritica

RF signals are more dynamic and unpredictable than ever, which presents new challenges for engineers. Even traditional vector spectrum analyzers struggle to capture transient or intermittent signals, leaving you without a complete picture of how your circuit or system is performing. Tektronix SignalVu-PC software now provides three advanced triggers enabling you to visualize, capture, and analyze …

Tektronix’ Wide Bandgap Double Pulse Test Solution including the Wide Bandgap Double Pulse Test application (Opt. WBG-DPT) which runs on the 5 Series B MSO oscilloscope

The Importance of Double Pulse Testing for Designing Today’s Power Converters Thursday, June 27, 2024 par : David Pereles

The field of power electronics is rapidly transitioning from the use of silicon semiconductor materials to wide bandgap semiconductors such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN). One of the most common applications of GaN and SiC semiconductors is to enable smaller, faster and more efficient designs of power converters. Power converters operate at multiple stages throughout the power …

Wideband Oscilloscopes for MIMO radar testing being used by and engineer.

MIMO Radar System Testing Tools and Techniques Thursday, January 11, 2024 par : Dylan Stinson

Modern technologies such as MIMO require the need for wide bandwidth, phase coherent, multi-channel analysis. Antenna elements in a MIMO radar system operate independently to cover a wide, often 180-degree, field of view without the need for directivity adjustments. This significantly improves scan times. The MIMO radar employs time, frequency, or coding techniques in each transmit signal to …

Testing and Debugging PMICs with Ease Friday, September 22, 2023 par : Andrea Vinci

Adaptive Power Optimization is Revolutionizing PMICs “There is no better way to save energy and cut bills than by turning all electronic devices off.” This basic piece of advice is the underlying principle and philosophy behind any form of energy management applied to energy consumption optimization, and in general in so-called adaptive power optimization. In the case of battery powered …

The Need for Fully Configurable, Multi-Channel RF Analysis Tuesday, March 28, 2023 par : Koteshwara Raju

Engineers and researchers whose work involves MIMO, phased array, and beam forming need a signal analysis tool that offers wide bandwidth and multi-channel capability. Oscilloscopes would seem to be a good choice – except many are either not designed to analyze RF signals or are limited to analyzing a single RF channel at a time. But RF spectral and modulation analysis of multiple channels …

Using Your Source Measure Unit as a Power Supply Friday, August 12, 2022 par : Tektronix Expert

Keithley’s line of Touch Test Invent™ graphical Instruments have the ability to locally run custom scripts written in the Test Script Processor (TSP™) language. These scripts allow the instrument to execute code in real time written by you. The example script provided allows a 2400 Series Graphical SMU to function as a power supply by outputting a constant wattage. A traditional power supply …

Automotive engineer testing CAN bus with 2 Series mixed signal oscilloscope

Automotive Customers Find Improved Access and Collaboration in 2 Series MSO Remote Capabilities Wednesday, August 10, 2022 par : Denis Solomon

Cars have taken us where we needed to go for over a century. In that time, the industry has moved from one that focused on hardware and mechanical features, like horsepower and torque, to one that prizes features and functions primarily enabled by software, such as driver-assistance features and infotainment options. We find ourselves in the middle of a fast-moving transition to a future where software-defined vehicles (SDVs) are the norm, not the exception.
