Measuring Agile Signals and Dynamic Signal Environments

Tue, 14 May 2013 16:07:00 +0000

For the capable RF engineer, continuous-wave (CW) and predictably-repeating signals are no great challenge—but today’s complex and agile signals and multi-signal environments are proving to be another matter. To keep up with evolving analysis needs, new types of signal analyzers and application software have emerged in recent years. Unfortunately, though, the relative benefits of these approaches are not yet widely understood.
