Latest developments in CISPR Automotive EMI standards (Webinar | Online)
Automotive EMI standards are developing quickly to address the impact of electric and hybrid vehicles on the electromagnetic environment. Recent changes in CISPR 25 & CISPR 36 and the ongoing revision of CISPR 12 as well as a demand to reduce test time and record the disturbance characteristic of the device under test bring new requirements for vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers. Usage of FFT-based measuring instruments is the key for addressing these topics. The presentation will address the applicability of FFT-based receivers for EMI compliance measurements against international standards, gives an inside view on the technology of such receivers and will conclude with practical use cases.

Spectrum Analysis Solutions for Wideband Satellite Communications (Webinar | Online)
NewSpace is heading towards exciting times. The evolution of the mega-constellations like Starlink and Amazon Kuiper is generating great interest. While the mega-constellations use proprietary waveforms ideal for satellite communications, there is the other evolution of the integration of NTN in TN driven by 3GPP using standardized waveforms, plus partnerships of SNO and MNOs, where standardized signals meet proprietary waveforms. Broadband signals transmitted to and from space will not only enable new use cases, but also entail technical challenges to achieve acceptable S/N ratios, and manage the increased potential for interference and other side effects. It is crucial to test systems and their components with appropriate signals to investigate performance…

Automotive EMC testing under dynamic driving conditions (Webinar | Online)
The increased amount and closer proximity of wireless and wireline communications systems in modern vehicles creates a challenging electromagnetic environment for designers and validation engineers with increased emissions and greater susceptibility to interference of sensitive components. This is particularly demanding for electric vehicles because of the increased field strengths from high voltages, faster semi-conductor switching speeds and increased wireless connectivity. Furthermore, the electromagnetic emissions of vehicles, particularly EVs, change significantly depending of their operational state. Therefore, to get a true understanding of the EMC performance of an electric vehicle, it is essential to test it under dynamic driving conditions. Join this webinar to understand the challenges faced by the automotive…

EMI compliance testing – from stepped scan to wideband time domain scan (Webinar | Online)
Emission testing according to CISPR standards involve the most stringent requirements to EMI test receivers on the detection of intermittent interference. Every product standard benefits from the wideband time domain scan not only by the increased speed and flexibility, but also from extended measurement times that increase the probability of intercept for sporadic interference. With up to 970 MHz the EMI test receiver R&S®ESW offers an unmatched wide FFT measurement bandwidth processed in real-time that enables extensive analysis and debugging, showing wide and detailed spectrogram plots without missing any pulses in time. The webinar presents practical examples to show the advantages of modern wideband FFT based time domain scan EMI…

Safer roads by verifying critical road infrastructure and C-V2X communication (Webinar | Online)
For several years, vehicle manufacturers and government agencies have sought ways to increase road safety, manage traffic efficiently and, in the future, make driving more comfortable, convenient and safe. Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) is a new generation of information and communication technology that connects vehicles to everything and can support these objectives. V2X is designed to offer low-latency vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-roadside infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) communications to add a new dimension to future driver assistance systems.Cellular V2X (C-V2X) is defined as the communications standard by 3GPP in Release 14 and uses LTE technology as the physical interface for communications.The LTE C-V2X Scanner provides customers an opportunity to verify, test, and optimize…

Voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) verification (Webinar | Online)
This Webinar is intended for engineers involved with Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO) both designing and integrating into systems. The webinar covers research & development, and product verification testing as used in characterization and production. We will be discussing VCO structures and requirements for verifying a complete design. Learn about VCO implementations and key performance indicators such as phase noise, which has a major influence on the overall system once the VCO gets integrated into an RF or digital circuit. As we discuss testing a VCO, you will hear different approaches and why you benefit from a fully integrated VCO test approach. With new applications, VCOs have to support higher frequencies.…
