Economical 2.1GHz/3.2GHz RF Signal Generators
|
|
 Touch, PC, or web
control makes these versatile RF signal sources a valuable addition
to an engineer's test bench
Siglent SSG3000X
RF Signal Generators have a frequency range of 9kHz
to 2.1GHz or 3.2GHz. They provide all of the common signal
generation needs such as sweep control and analog modulations (AM,
FM, PM) as well as pulse modulation and pulse train generation
(option). Additionally, the IQE models can be used with a baseband
generator such as the Siglent SDG6000X to generate IQ modulated
signals. With a 0.01Hz frequency setting resolution, the
signal output can be adjusted from -110dBm to +13dBm with phase
noise as low as -110dBc/Hz @ 1GHz.

Radiated Power Measurements Without An Anechoic
Chamber
|
|
 Compact RF
measurement system is optimized for quickly measuring device
radiation patterns in a lab environment.
The compact MegiQ
RMS-0640/0660 Radiation Measurement Systems are
turnkey setups that can measure antenna and equipment radiation
patterns  and Total Radiated
Power (TRP) of an RF device from 600MHz to
4/6GHz. The RMS-06x0 system consists of a measurement
antenna, a measurement receiver with optional signal generator, a
motorized turntable, and application software for system control
and calculations. This system removes the need for an
expensive anechoic chamber for most applications. Moderate
lab space is all that is needed in order to obtain accurate 3-axis
radiation patterns and TRP calculations. Extensive testing
and comparison with anechoic test lab measurements has shown that
the measurement accuracy of the RMS-06x0 approximates very well to
anechoic measurements.

electronics switching bridge. Examples of challenging measurement
tasks the CS448 can handle easily are: voltage and charge of gate
drives, loss and parasitic stress in power switching, power and
spectrum of output signals for EMC compliance, control system
signals for gain/phase and stability, etc. The CS448 includes
an isolated 65MHz signal generator to provide stimulus signals for
frequency response analysis, and eight isolated 100Mb/s logic

camera for accurate thermal fault investigations.
The HT
Mercury Digital Multimeter is a true RMS
DMM capable of  measuring AC/DC voltage up
to 1000V, AC/DCcurrent up to 10A as well
as resistance, continuity test, diode test, frequency,
capacitance and temperature with K-type probe. The built-in
infrared camera with 80x80 pixel resolution can
obtain simultaneous readings of thermal as well as electrical
values for an item under test. The thermal camera helps to
simply and quickly detect hot spots caused by electrical problems,
shorts, or malfunctions. The infrared sensor can detect a
temperature range from -20°C to 260°C with 0.1°C sensitivity.
Other major functions in the HT Mercury include an
"AC+DC" mode to accommodate DC components
on AC signals, and a variety of current measurement
ranges with standard and flexible transducer clamps. The F3000U
30/300/3000A clamp is provided with HT Mercury.

USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Isolator For Electrical Isolation
of USB Ports
|
|
 USB 3.0 SuperSpeed
Isolator eliminating ground loops and ground potential differences
and is ideal for measurement, industrial, automotive and audio
technology applications.
The ALLDAQ
ADQ-USB 3.0-ISO series of USB 3.0 isolators, which
support the full USB 3.0 SuperSpeed data rate of 5Gbit/s. This
allows USB 3.0 SuperSpeed devices to be electrically isolated from
a host PC or other peripherals at full performance. The re-clocking
design guarantees a stable USB connection at all speeds. The
ADQ-USB isolators can be used for the electrical isolation of USB
measurement instruments to avoid ground loops to solve problems in
industrial and automotive applications as well as in professional
sound studios and event and show equipment. The ADQ-USB 3.0-ISO
isolators automatically detect SuperSpeed (5Gbit/s), High-Speed
(480Mbit/s), Full-Speed (12Mbit/s) or Low-Speed (1.5 Mbit/s)
connections. The model ADQ-USB 3.0-ISO-PS includes a +5 V
power adapter with a lockable 5.5mm barrel connector (bayonet lock)
for a safety. For industrial and automotive applications, the
ADQ-USB 3.0-ISO-W version can accept 10 to 36 VDC from an external
power source via a 2-pin lockable Phoenix-type connector to power
devices with up to 900 mA. The external power input is protected
against reverse polarity and short-circuits.

Innovative IKALOGIC SP2 Logic Analyzers
|
|
Ultra-compact, portable debug tool offers large
databuffer, built-in bus receivers for serial decoding.
The IKALOGIC
SP2 Series of compact 9-channel 200MHz Logic
Analyzers, which offer in-depth analysis of logic signals and
protocol decoding with 200MHz (5ns) timing resolution. The
nine channel design allows 8-bit parallel data to be captured along
with a clock or strobe signal at the maximum sampling rate without
any trade-off between the number of active channels and the
sampling rate. The embedded 2Gb memory buffers the captured signals
before sending to the attached PC. Powerful trigger options
include: edge trigger, logic change on one or various channels,
trigger on timed logic signals sequence, trigger on protocol word
or event (e.g. serial word or I2C address acknowledge), external
trigger input, etc. The SP2 series makes it easy to analyze CMOS
logic signals and industrial buses. The series consists of two
devices: the SP209 is the standard edition and
the SP209i is an industrial version with specialized
receivers for most common industrial busses like RS485, RS232 or
CAN. The Trigger-in and Trigger-out SMA connectors allow
users to synchronize the SP209 to other lab equipment, building
highly sophisticated test setups. The Spartan 6 FPGA design
provides the processing power required and can easily be
firmware-updated.
