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...
This application note is about creating your own battery model for the R&S®NGM200, beyond the standard models provided within the battery simulation option NGM-K106. The main purpose is to gradually discharge a battery or a rechargeable battery using the internal QuickArb function. The discharge of the battery...

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...
Adding security to a device costs extra money, time, power consumption and makes everything worse. The only reason for adding security to a device is the need to improve marketing – security components help to sell more products. To participate in the evolution of Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things and cloud technologies...
5G NR (New Radio) has pioneered the use of mmWave frequencies that provide large bandwidths. This frequency range 2 (FR2), ranging from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz, enables reliable, high data rate transmissions required particularly for demanding real-time applications with low latencies.
This webinar will discuss...

True or false: 30 dBm + 30 dBm = 60 dBm? Why does 1% work out to be -40 dB one time but then 0.1 dB or 0.05 dB the next time? These questions sometimes leave even experienced engineers scratching their heads. Decibels are found everywhere, including power levels, voltages, reflection coefficients, noise figures, field...
