In some areas of work, you can get away with being “close enough.” In fact, I believe it was my insightful 5th grade teacher, Mr. Watts, who taught me that “close only counts in horseshoes.” So for those of you throwing horseshoes for a living, if you’re getting close, keep it up! However, if you’re …
Dictionary.com defines Radio Telemetry as “the use of radio waves for transmitting information from a distant instrument to a device that indicates or records the measurements.” And as far as we’re concerned, anywhere there’s radio waves, wireless transmissions, or distant instruments, there’s an opportunity for Signal Hound radio telemetry equipment in the toolkit 😉 In …
We just posted a new application note titled “Noise Power Ratio Testing on a Budget” that details NPR testing with our VSG25A vector signal generator. Justin (our head engineer) wrote the app note, and it includes a step-by-step procedure for testing NPR with the VSG25A and our BB60C 9 kHz to 6 GHz spectrum analyzer, …
Why Multipath Interference? In RF communications, understanding multipath interference is critical to understanding wireless communications in an urban environment. Generally, multipath propagation leads to undesired effects, such as fading. Recent advances in multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) technology have actually exploited multipath interference to significantly increase bandwidth. Because of these new technologies, it is more …
