RF signals historically are measured using spectrum analyzers, at least that was before oscilloscopes offered sufficient bandwidth for those measurements. With oscilloscope bandwidths over 100 GHz, RF ...

In the process of debugging and validating both digital and RF designs, the oscilloscope Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) function and a variety of other math functions can prove ...

Additionally, since signal amplitude gradually rolls off to -3 dB at the oscilloscope’s rated bandwidth, RF measurements made anywhere near the rated bandwidth of the oscilloscope are attenuated ...

Sometimes the old tricks are the best. [Kevin] learned an old trick about using a ‘scope to sniff RF noise and pays it forward by sharing it in a recent video. He uses an oscilloscope. But ...

I didn't have another bridge, but I assured the tech there are other ways to do the measurement. One way is to solder a known capacitor in parallel with the unknown inductor to form an LC tank, ...

Measurement parameters P7 and P8 read the frequency and peak-to-peak amplitude of the extracted periodic component, 47 MHz with an amplitude of 20 ps peak-to-peak. We’ve made some basic measurements ...

Of note, the software/scope combo allows designers to evaluate complex signals up to 20 GHz without the need for an external down converter.

New theoretical and experimental work by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Michigan have developed an innovative method to overcome this ...
