Wednesday, July 20, 2022 · 1:00 PM EDTCreating and evaluating high-speed digital designs now requires extensive knowledge of RF principles. Improperly designed power plane systems can couple noise from one section of the design to another. High-speed differential SRDES lines must exhi... -
Wednesday, August 17, 2022 · 10:00 AM EDTA fully metrological measurement made by a VNA is comprised of a value, a unit, an uncertainty, and the confidence interval of the uncertainty. Measurement uncertainty, or accuracy, is stated on the VNA datasheet. Still, a complete understanding o... -
Wednesday, October 5, 2022 · 10:00 AM EDTFor automotive systems, the inclusion of mmWave radar along with other RF systems and high current DC switching for electric vehicles present numerous challenges for the automotive designer. This webinar will introduce a few of these challenges an... -
Wednesday, December 7, 2022 · 2:00 PM ESTThis webinar will examine the sources of measurement error and the residual errors still present after calibration. The two types of errors, random and systemic will be introduced along with methods to mitigate or control them.

Wednesday, February 23, 2022 · 10:00 AM ESTRadomes can experience defects due to wear or impact events that degrade both mechanical and electromagnetic performance. Traditional radome testing often resorts to the crude "tap test" where an operator listens for sound changes with a tapping c...
-
Wednesday, January 19, 2022 · 1:00 PM ESTIt is an unfortunate reality in some cases that after spending a lot of valuable time making measurements with a VNA, it is determined later that you cannot use the data because your cables were faulty or a port was broken.
During this webinar, ... -
Tuesday, December 7, 2021 · 10:00 AM ESTWe will discuss how to setup and automate VNA measurements for mass production tests.
-
Wednesday, November 10, 2021 · 1:00 PM EST12 Term error correction may seem daunting, but it isn't terribly difficult to understand. The mathematics are not as neat as the 1-port model but are not impossible to deal with in Python or some other programming language. This webinar will atte...
