RF Oscillators Explained
RF Oscillators are an essential component to most RF signal chains, as they are used as local oscillators (LOs) with frequency conversion circuits, as a reference frequency, and in frequency synthesis/generation circuits. The basic purpose of RF Oscillators is to generate a periodic and continuous RF signal, typically sine waves, with input from DC power supplies. All RF sources have some form...
All About Calibration Kits
RF VNA Calibration Kits are essential test and measurement hardware for nearly all types of VNA measurements. Though VNAs come with internal calibration from the manufacturers, there are a variety of environmental and temporal factors that could lead to significant measurement errors to take into account. This is the purpose of VNA Calibration Kits, of which, the most common type is the short,...
