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 valuable to designers ...

Oscilloscopes are the workhorse instruments for time domain measurements. Most current digital oscilloscopes include about twenty-five built in measurement parameters as a standard complement. Adding ...

With the ever-expanding adoption of wireless in embedded systems of all types, there’s no question that having spectrum analyzer capability in an oscilloscope is a time-savings convenience for ...

This article originally appeared in TV Technology. RF simulation software can provide a graphic display of RF fields; however, measuring them usually involves large anechoic chambers and structures on ...

The Series 7 DPO oscilloscope from Tektronix is the company’s first new high-end model in years. It uses an optical port to ...

It’s a problem that has dogged electronic engineers since the first electrons were coaxed along a wire: that measuring instruments can themselves disrupt the operation of a circuit. Older multimeters ...

One of our technicians recently asked for help determining the value of an SMT inductor. It was unmarked, and was many turns of very fine wire on a ferrite core. The resistance measured 26Ω, which for ...
