Parasitic components in power converters – fundamentals and measurements (Webinar | Online)
Summary: This webinar is intended for engineers who work on power converter design and testing. New technologies such as SiC and GaN operate with higher switching speeds while parasitics increase conducted emissions for this reason. It is important to keep an eye on parasitics and quantify them already in early design phases. We will be starting with an introduction into fundamentals of parasitics, variety of types and their effects, and their impact on measurements. You will be learning how to measure and identify parasistics either through online in-circuit characterization with oscilloscopes and probes or through offline characterization with LCR meters we will be focussing on in this webinar. Practical examples…

Testing for coexistence in crowded and contested RF environments (Webinar | Online)
In this session we will discuss some of the key research, development, test & evaluation challenges encountered when developing and deploying RADAR & EW systems that need to function in congested and/or contested RF environments. Topics include an overview of the issues facing coexistence, such as a contested and congested spectrum, spectral sensing and sharing, and dynamic spectrum allocation. We will highlight some real-world examples of coexistence challenges such as 5G and satellite transmissions at C-band frequencies, and aircraft RADAR altimeters and GPS interference with co-located satellite-based communication. This session will conclude with an overview of the characteristics and architectures of test systems that are used to create realistic RF…

Practical Guide to RF testing Secure Radios (Webinar | Online)
Adoption of software defined radio architecture for secure communications is enabling armed and public safety forces to raise their situational awareness, using more capable, interoperable, secure and robust radios. However, radios have also increased in complexity and reliability requirements, obliging manufacturers and operators to invest in new design methodologies and develop a much more exhaustive multidomain testing procedure. In this first part of the webinar we will focus on the main radiofrequency testing procedures that one can carry on with a one box radio tester such the CMA180 or the CMA-XRT100. We will learn basic concepts and evidence with real radios how to operate these instruments to execute transmit and…

Advanced eye analysis – get to your results faster (Webinar | Online)
This webinar is intended for engineers working on high-speed digital interface designs and testing. We will be starting with a short introduction into growing challenges on signal integrity such as increasing data rates, interference from increasing numbers of other sources, and transmitter timing effects. From an overview on dedicated tests for verification and debugging we will get to eye diagram principles and traditional acquisition methods such as live eye and bit sequence. You will be learning the implemented hardware-based clock-data-recovery trigger functionality which approaches faster results for a strong statistical confidence. Practical examples with the RTP oscilloscope will be illustrating advanced eye measurements made easy and reliable. Speakers: Guido Schulze, Product…
