One very successful trick I use to simulate radiated immunity on the bench is to run an RF generator into an H-field (loop) probe. The best level seems to be +15 to +20 dBm. This will generate an ...

Implementation of the 5G radio frequency (RF) standard is increasing rapidly [1]. Over the past four to six quarters, there has been an increased focus on publications and products that have been ...

You wouldn’t think that batteries could fail radiated immunity testing, but today’s more sophisticated Li-ion battery packs include battery management system (BMS) circuitry that monitors the ...

Modern radio frequency (RF) components introduce many challenges to outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) suppliers whose objective is to ensure products are assembled and tested to meet ...

This is the second article of a three-part series discussing the likely impacts of next-generation consumer wireless semiconductor devices on instrumentation performance requirements. The first ...

Radio frequency identification systems have become increasingly popular in recent years. These tags are now commonly used in a range of applications—like in employee badges or warehouse goods. However ...

Scalability: If the controlled RF environment is properly architected, system designers can scale WLAN testing from a single device to the entire network (FIG. 1). Users can configure an entire WLAN ...

Collaborations between colleges and electronics companies are growing to meet fast-changing engineering needs. In the latest collaboration, semiconductor test equipment supplier Advantest Corporation ...

A rheumatoid factor (RF) test detects rheumatoid factor, a type of antibody (proteins that fight off harmful substances) in your blood. RF antibodies sometimes attack healthy cells and tissues, ...
