Riding the Microwave

Sample microwave applications
 
  Signal generation
Simplifying radar testing
Digital modulation up to 40 GHz
 
  Power measurement
EIRP measurements
 
  Signal analysis
Power measurements on pulsed radar signals
Noise figure measurement

The swept noise figure test solution covers 100 kHz to 50 GHz and offers a wide variety of resolution bandwidths for every application, even for measurements on narrowband DUTs. If results are questionable, use the analyzer to check the test setup for radiated interference or nonharmonics. Measurements on frequencyconverting DUTs are supported by an external generator.

The Signal Analyzer R&S FSQ or the Spectrum Analyzer R&S FSP or R&S FSU can detect and analyze interference sources.

Noise figure measurement
Measurements on a GaAs preamplifier show an anomaly at 140 MHz;
its cause can easily be traced in the spectrum analyzer mode
Scalar analysis with independent generation and spectrum analysis capability
Phase noise measurement – cross-correlation to reduce phase noise
 
  Vector network analysis
Frequency-converting frontend measurement
Antenna measurement with remote mixers
