This hardware/software pair provides many ways to characterize RF signals up to 6.2 GHz, well beyond the output capabilities of the Raspberry Pi. Let's look at a few common RF measurements to get an idea of what characterization is possible, and examine the output of the Raspberry Pi.
Carrier Frequency
A carrier frequency is the base frequency that will be modulated in an RF signal. Without any …
Nicole Chandler, Software Design Engineer and Women in Technology (WIT) Co-Lead, attended the Society of Women Engineers Conference in Houston, Texas, with some colleagues and shares some of her key learnings from attending.
Since 2016 the “Women in Technology” (WIT) group exists at Tektronix to foster an inclusive environment for women. The Group has now 230 members and has become an influential …
The Tektronix and Keithley test and measurement equipment that you’ve invested in – oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, function generators, and other sensitive equipment – is designed to perform at the highest standards. The measurements and performance outcomes that this equipment provides needs to be reliable, accurate, and consistent. As such, when it comes to repair services you need to …

The Test and Measurement (T&M) equipment industry has been changing quickly in recent years. As electronic devices have become more complex, testing and validation has become a highly complicated process for many companies. The demand for faster data rates has increased the amount of time needed by engineering teams to validate new technologies, often causing substantial delays in product time-to …
While the types of electrical tests required during the design and production of power conversion equipment are similar to those required for previous generations of devices, the adoption of wide-bandgap materials like silicon carbide (SiC) or gallium nitride (GaN) requires added rigor and new test strategies.
Bench testing continues to play an important role at every stage of the development of …
ATE or the Automotive Testing Expo is a leading international trade show for every aspect of automotive testing, development, and validation technologies, held annually in Detroit, Shanghai, and Stuttgart. ATE is important to the industry because it gives attendees the ability to see the latest and greatest products and solutions under one roof for the various technologies and services available …
Modern radar signals make use of intra-pulse modulation or modulation on pulse (MOP), such as a linear frequency modulation (LFM), or some form of phase modulation (such as a bi-phase Barker code) to improve range resolution. They also include modulation on pulse to occupy more bandwidth and thus decrease the probability of intercept (POI). Additionally, intra-pulse modulation can include some …
