Testing

“It is like an apps store for test and measurement,” said Charles Schroeder, director of product marketing for test at National Instruments

The technique uses an ultra wideband radio system called MARIA (multistatic array processing for radiowave image acquisition) that can detect tumours by generating high-resolution 3D images of the human breast

"This means that customers can use our AMC-2C6670 card with confidence in LTE systems," said Edward Young, managing director at CommAgility

TRaC is hosting another free seminar aimed at manufacturers, with the theme 'International Product Compliance'. Topics covered include: ZigBee, the Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive, FCC and IC requirements for Radio, CE Marking and more.

Agilent demonstrated the 67GHz PNA-X NVNA and phase reference-calibration standard at European Microwave Week in Manchester earlier this month

An RF measurement is only as reliable as the most uncertain component or practice, writes Robert Luff

Called AutoBuzz, the test capability can be used to acquire a connectivity map of any board’s boundary-scan to boundary-scan pin connections

The instrument’s bandwidth of up to 160MHz allows it to be used for measurement of wideband, hopping and chirp signals, as used in wireless standards such as the 802.11ac

For Matlab there is now a fast start-up capability on Windows. There is a capability to read and write portions of arrays from MAT-files as well as a new spreadsheet import tool

The 8GT/s operating speed of PCIe 3.0 devices can present a signal integrity challenges for designers. “Signal integrity problems may present themselves as errors in protocol behaviour,” said Agilent
