Current fiber optic technology fails to deliver a High Performance Interconnect solution which provides service and manufacturability, high density channel count, low loss optical performance and high reliability.
New broadband service networks, high fiber densities, increasing end - user bandwidth demands and...



This paper will give an overview of both high and low throw-count RF switches used in different circuit locations in a typical mobile device design, and discuss how each performance specification and design feature will impact on the overall performance of your system. In addition, this paper will dive deeper inside each...



Deembedding, often a necessary and complex task, is made easier with an integrated hardware and software solution. Whether you are debugging a high-speed interface such as DDR or PCIe, characterising a fast clock or analysing a complex RF signal, you want to see the real signal and not artifacts of the test setup such...



Rohde & Schwarz launched with the R&S ESU the world's first commercial EMI test receiver capable of time domain scans. The EMI test receiver family R&S ESR does also support time domain scans and delivers even faster measurements.
Taking the R&S ESR EMI test receiver as an example, this paper examines...



In this whitepaper, Rohde & Schwarz introduces a joint jitter and noise analysis framework for serial PAM transmission based on a parametric signal model. The approach has several benefits over other state-of-the-art methods.
The identification of jitter and noise sources is critical when debugging failure sources...

Consumer appetite for high-speed mobile devices and services shows no sign of slowing. Smart phones and tablet computers are flying off retail shelves around the world, promising consumers high-speed data services.
The International Telecommunications Union reports that mobile broadband subscriptions reached 1.2 billion...



Reliability is one of the most important factors that a designer needs to consider when specifying components or subsystems – particularly when the component in question is the power supply on which an entire assembly relies. And yet reliability figures are possibly the most ambiguous on any datasheet – including...



In this white paper eGaN FET technology is applied in a high frequency resonant converter. Previously, the advantages provided by eGaN FETs in hard switching isolated and non-isolated applications were addressed.
This paper will demonstrate the ability of the eGaN FET to improve efficiency and output power density...



As the traditional 2.4 GHz operating band for IEEE 802.11- compliant Wi-Fi wireless local area networks (LANs) becomes more crowded, network administrators increasingly look to the less crowded 5 GHz operating band to improve or maintain network performance and reliability. This is especially necessary in medical Wi-Fi...



Adding security to a device costs extra money, time, power consumption and makes everything worse. The only reason for adding security to a device is the need to improve marketing – security components help to sell more products. To participate in the evolution of Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things and cloud technologies...
