Rohde & Schwarz launched with the R&S ESU the world's first commercial EMI test receiver capable of time domain scans. The EMI test receiver family R&S ESR does also support time domain scans and delivers even faster measurements.
Taking the R&S ESR EMI test receiver as an example, this paper examines...



5G is not just an incremental improvement over 4G - it's the next major evolution of mobile communication technology with performance improvements of an order of magnitude over today's networks. 5G does not simply replace 4G, it will importantly enable a wider diversity of tasks that 4G is unable to perform and...



One of the primary purposes of a gate driver is to enable power switches to turn on and off faster, improving rise and fall times. Faster switching enables higher efficiency and higher power density, reducing losses in the power stage associated with high slew rates. However, as slew rates increase, so do measurement and...



Upcoming technologies such as 5G for wireless communications and the increasing amount of integrated electronic systems in modern vehicles require new solutions for EMC testing. In addition, manufacturers are looking for time saving test routines and intuitive test software that enable fast precompliance and compliance...



Stepper motors are mostly driven in open loop mode. Timing of the step pulses is defined by the controller, the motor is supposed to follow without loosing synchronism. Stepper motors are in fact natural positioning devices which do not require position feedback. The drawback of their design are important iron losses when...



Engineers working on systems built using Internet of Things (IoT) technologies now have access to a huge range of sensor options. The available modalities have moved well beyond temperature and pressure to encompass sensors that can act as the eyes, ears and nose of the IoT.
Thanks to the connectivity made...

The ongoing, rapid proliferation of wireless devices and accelerating demand for bandwidth-intensive data services is putting increasing strain on point-to-point radio backhaul radio networks and cellular base stations, particularly in densely populated metro environments.
To mitigate this strain, mobile operators...

Weatherproofing options for coaxial connections at cell sites have changed and expanded along with the cell sites themselves. Today’s more complex cell site designs demand a new type of weatherproofing solution to protect vulnerable connection points at the antenna and the remote radio unit (RRU).
This paper...



Functional safety actively prevents the failure of a system from causing harm to people and property. Developers often need to certify a system as compliant with a functional safety standard.
In this report, you’ll learn about functional safety and explore functional safety terms, such as dependability and availability,...



IEEE 802.11ax is intended to improve the user experience and network performance in dense deployments in the unlicensed bands.
Download this white paper to explore the technology used in the IEEE 802.11ax amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard and to get an overview of receiver and transmitter test requirement. Readers...

Although it has been with us in some form and under different names for many years, the Internet of Things (IoT) is suddenly the next big thing. The ability to connect, communicate with, and remotely manage an incalculable number of networked, automated devices via the Internet is becoming pervasive, from the commercial...



The reliability of communications equipment depends primarily upon the reliability of the power supply. The most cost-effective approach to power system design is to employ power supplies designed for the application.
Power supplies that dissipate heat from the sensitive electronics via large, flat baseplates to heatsinks...



Deembedding, often a necessary and complex task, is made easier with an integrated hardware and software solution. Whether you are debugging a high-speed interface such as DDR or PCIe, characterising a fast clock or analysing a complex RF signal, you want to see the real signal and not artifacts of the test setup such...
