Many of the long-time markets for high-frequency electronics, such as commercial communications, military radar, and electronic-warfare (EW) systems, appear strong for the future. Yet the use of RF and microwave signals should extend well beyond those traditional markets in the years to come. Investments in commercial communications... December 2008 [Components] Vectron’s Vision Of Frequency Control Southern New Hampshire is home to beautiful summers and snow-kissed winters. It is also home to the corporate headquarters for one of the world’s leading crystal oscillator suppliers, Vectron International (www.vectron.com). Part of the diversified Dover Electronic Technologies group of engineering and electronics companies, Vectron International also boasts expertise and manufacturing ... December 2008 [Products] Top Products Of 2008 Great minds think alike in the microwave industry as they do elsewhere. Take, for instance, the plethora of impressive synthesizers that debuted over the past 12 months. These instruments boast the outstanding switching speed, low noise, and broad bandwidths that are required to satisfy everything from automatic test equipment (ATE) to the most stringent military applications. Another theme in 2008 was integration, as many instruments... December 2008 [Components] Spread-Spectrum Clocks Cut EMI Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can emanate from the smallest of sources, even from a system clock source. For that reason, oscillator designers at SiTime Corp. turned to spread-spectrum technology as a way to literally spread the EMI generated by their oscillators over a wider segment of frequency spectrum than normal. The end result is that interference at any specific frequency becomes less, with less... December 2008 [Test & Measurement] Software/Scope Combination Scrutinizes Complex Waveforms Oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers are sometimes found on the same test bench. Each brings its strengths and limitations, with a scope’s triggering capabilities ideal for time-domain analysis and a spectrum analyzer’s sweep functions well suited for spectral displays. But what if those capabilities were combined? The answer would be the SignalVu vector signal analysis software from Tektronix, which is...
