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...

Timing components such as low jitter oscillators and clocks are necessary to facilitate increasing data rates in high speed digital designs. As part of the overall system design, the components also have to perform in the system’s non-ideal power integrity environment and limit the power supply induced phase noise...

Medical device designers have become increasingly interested in the Linux ® operating system (OS), largely because of its open source model. Linux lets the designer leverage a large pool of developers, a rich legacy of source code, and industry-standard POSIX APIs.
But Linux may not be the right choice for all...

Hyundai needed to meet manufacturing test deadlines for increasingly complex powertrain electronic control units (ECUs) with over 200 pins and 20,000 test steps, while staying competitive. They were able to achieve flexible test system configurations of all powertrain ECU types and reusable procedures that guaranteed test...

Safety, availability, and cost considerations can make performing thorough tests of embedded control devices using the complete system impractical. Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation is a real-time test technique used to test these devices more efficiently. During HIL test, the physical system that interfaces...

The only system that’s safe from cyberthreats is one that’s never powered on. While this is an overstatement meant to highlight the seriousness of security threats that surround things like our computers and phones, it’s something to be considered as threats to embedded systems evolve.
Today...

All electronic devices contain capacitive or inductive components that can cause a disproportionately high current while switching on the device.
From an FPGA to a drilling machine, virtually every component or device requires an inrush current that by far exceeds the normal operating current. To properly design the...

The electronics industry is no stranger to innovation. There are probably hundreds of new products launched every day – some are iterative releases of product lines already in production, while others announce a completely new technology. Their success, as with any product, tends to depend on a complex mix of market...
