Directed energy weapons (DEW) emit intently focused beams of electromagnetic energy to incapacitate enemy targets. These weapons, however, often limit output power to mitigate destructive reflections along the fiber-optic cables. In this article, learn how additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) can optimize DEW performance during testing and deployment.

In today’s wireless world, RF signals are transmitted and received to effectively send data and facilitate wireless communications. Among all the parameters to consider in RF design, power measurements remain one of the most critical metrics for designers and operators.

Many choices go into the design of a reference transmitter for stressed receiver testing, and every choice can lead to unintended complications when it’s time to calibrate the stressed signal. The pattern generator component of advanced BERTs come equipped with internal noise sources like sinusoidal jitter and interference, random jitter and noise; multi-channel generators can even apply genuine crosstalk.

BitifEye introduces the signal impairments required for receiver testing in the emerging automotive standards like ASA, MIPI's A-PHY, Automotive Ethernet, etc. From "automotive cable crosstalk" to "car noise" to "fast transient pulses," the standards specify different sources of noise in different ways, some as in the form of time evolutions, others as spectra; this article focuses on techniques for generating and calibrating each noise source. In the process, they describe advanced de-embedding techniques and address test equipment limitations.

Phase noise is caused by an RF waveform’s unintentional phase modulation, degrading the overall fidelity of a signal. In this white paper, learn phase noise fundamentals, how phase noise impacts the performance of radar and digital communications systems, and the limitations and advantages of two different phase noise measurement methods..

With the ever increasing demand for higher data rates and lower power consumption, power and signal integrity are playing a larger role in the design of modern electronic devices. Learn how Noisecom meets integrity challenges with noise generators built for high-speed data applications.
