It is often essential to test the performance of RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave communication, sensing, and signal generation systems to the effects of noise. However, to gain the most insight from testing systems with artificial noise sources, it is important to...
RF coaxial connectors are one of the most common RF port types used in virtually every industry, from military/defense, aerospace, industrial, scientific research, automated testing, production etc. it is very common for the ports for RF devices to be female coaxial...
One of the leading causes of electronic equipment failure is from transient overvoltage. This is especially true for communication and wireless equipment which are at the same time both very susceptible to transient over voltages and exposure to a wide range of...
In cases where it may be necessary to connect 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm systems, there are a few methods to ensure impedance matching between these two impedance standards. The easiest and most cost effective, and smallest footprint, in most cases, is to use impedance...
Thermal vacuum testing is performed on a wide variety of materials, devices, and systems to either evaluate the test subjects in a simulated space environment or to condition the subjects in a space-like environment. This is a critical stage in the burn-in, break-in,...
There is an inescapable relationship between power, voltage, and current in electrical/electronic systems. In cases where it is desirable to carry the highest amount of power possible with the lowest conductive losses, then high voltages are needed. However, high...
RF Coaxial Cables are one of the most common transmission line types in use today. Part of the reason for this is that there is a wide range of design freedom and material use that allow for RF coax cables to be designed for a wide range of applications....
A RF limiter is a two-port, variable attenuation device designed to be used as circuit protection and signal power limiting. The essential function of RF Limiters are, when exposed to signal power above a certain threshold the limiter attenuation is enhanced to ensure...
The short answer is, yes. A RF splitter and combiner are the same passive network devices, and to use a splitter as a combiner, the input signals are placed in the combining ports of the splitter, where the combined output is then available at the splitter input port....
RF Circulators are ferromagnetic passive RF components that are used to provide isolation between the forward and reverse signals at the point of the signal chain where the RF circulator is placed. In some instances, an RF Circulator is also referred to as an RF...
