These are application notes that have been referenced in courses taught by Besser Associates.
Description of y factor and cold source noise figure techniques. Includes a glossary and comprehensive description of test equipment.
App note for setting up a measurement on a Vector Signal Analyzer, as well as troubleshooting tree for devices/systems.
Advances in software, microprocessors and display technology have expanded the capabilities of modern function generators. The latest models can produce a variety of signals, including common waveforms, arbitrary waveforms and sophisticated modulated waveforms. Many use direct digital synthesis (DDS), which creates a stable, accurate output for clean, low-distortion sine waves. DDS also enables square waves with fast rise and fall times. The added capability gives you more fl exibility for testing your devices.
