    Software Simplifies Stability Analysis 3

    Stability can be difficult to achieve in microwave circuits with gain (nonlinear behavior), such as amplifiers and oscillators. Amplifier designers, for example, have long dreaded the appearance of oscillations in a carefully considered circuit. When that circuit is in monolithic-microwave-integrated-circuit (MMIC) form, a "fix" requires another foundry run....More

    Find Out Why PXI Is Being Used For RF Instruments 17

    Today, several instrument vendors are offering high-performance PXI RF test equipment. In a world that was once dominated by traditional-rack-and-stack instruments, this industry shift begs the question: “Why?” More specifically, we should ask, Why are engineers using PXI for their RF test needs, and Why did this change occur? I would like to take a stab at answering these questions while providing the context for why PXI has become a de-facto standard for RF instrumentation....More

    Create An LTE Field Environment In The Lab 2

    Many see drive testing–the process of testing cellular systems and equipment by literally driving around with live mobile devices in a car or van—as the ultimate test of a cell phone or base station. However, drive testing incurs significant costs and liabilities while offering very little in terms of repeatability. For many years, testing and R&D labs have dreamed of “virtual drive testing” or the laboratory-based repeatable replication of live field environments....More
