Pulse Measurement of a Power Amplifier

VNA 101 Bootcamp: Pulse Measurement of a Power Amplifier

Benchtop VNA measurement of an RF Power Amplifier can be greatly facilitated by using a pulsed RF stimulus. If a continuous wave excitation is used, the PA may require a large heatsink and a fan to produce airflow. On the other hand, if the PA is measured with pulsed RF with a low duty cycle, the overall heat dissipation can be greatly reduced and heat-sinking may not be necessary at all.

Time Domain Gating Measurements with a VNA

Time Domain Gating Measurements with a VNA

Time domain gating is a very useful tool in vector network analysis. If a measurement can be made over sufficient bandwidth, there will be ample resolution in the time domain to “gate out” reflections which are of no interest and obscure the desired measurement. It is helpful to first understand the time domain conversion process and then the simple manner in which chosen spatially defined reflections may be eliminated. Join us for this webinar where we explore time domain gating measurements with a VNA.

New Developments in Microwave Materials Measurements

Webinar: New Developments in Microwave Materials Measurements

Tabletop Materials Measurements

Fundamental to microwave device design is knowing the electromagnetic performance of materials used in the device. Whether it is a microwave substrate, an antenna radome, or an electromagnetic inference absorber, methods are needed to evaluate materials and determine their intrinsic dielectric and magnetic properties. Designers use these intrinsic parameters (permittivity and permeability) to develop or optimize microwave and RF components. Measuring the performance of microwave materials requires a system that includes i) a measurement fixture and ii) a microwave analyzer. The fixture and the analyzer are usually connected with microwave or radio frequency (RF) cables.

Offset Frequency Measurements with a VNA

VNA Master Class: Offset Frequency Measurements with a VNA Webinar

A Copper Mountain Technologies VNA can make offset measurements where the stimulus and receiver are not at the same frequencies. This allows for the characterization of upconverters, downconverters, and mixers. Because the frequencies differ, phase measurement has no meaning and only scalar amplitude is determined. Vector mixer calibration utilizing a de-embedded reference mixer makes the stimulus and receiver measurements the same and allows for full amplitude and phase characterization of the mixer under test. De-embedding of the reference mixer requires a second-tier calibration. In this webinar, both of these methods will be demonstrated.

Effects of Random Factors on the Metrology of VNA Measurement

VNA Master Class: Effects of Random Factors on the Metrology of VNA Measurement Webinar

Contributing factors to the uncertainty of a VNA measurement can be either random or systematic. Systematic errors may be greatly reduced through a calibration process such as Short, Open, Load and Thru (SOLT) or Thru, Reflect and Line (TRL), or any of a number of other methods. Random factors cannot be reduced by any algorithmic means because they are naturally random and unpredictable. However, certain measurement techniques can reduce them, which will be the topic of this webinar.

De-embedding Fixture Effects from VNA Measurements

De-embedding Fixture Effects from VNA Measurements Webinar

Automatic Fixture Removal (AFR) is an intuitive software plug-in that is used to accurately measure hard-to-access devices, such as SMD-sized components mounted on a fixture by de-embedding the fixture effects. The AFR VNA software plug-in enables the measurement of a wide range of components through comprehensive methods tailored to specific fixture properties. It can be used for manufacturing and production facilities as well as for component testing.

 

The AFR software moves the calibration plane towards hard-to-access DUTs and guides the de-embedding process using either time-gating, filtering, or bisect methods on a 2-port 2xThru or 1xReflect fixture. These methods provide the user with better measurement accuracy and reliability based on the components being tested. The AFR software plug-in is easy to use and is compatible with all CMT 2- and 4-port Cobalt series VNAs up to 20 GHz and Compact series two-port, two-path VNAs up to 44 GHz.

 

During this webinar, we briefly demonstrate this using the software plug-in with the different methods available for de-embedding fixture effects. For more information about method selection, please read this application note.

Non-Destructive Microwave Evaluation of Radome Performance

Non-Destructive Microwave Evaluation of Radome Performance

Radomes 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 coin to detect defects.

Best Practices for RF Fixture Design

VNA 101 Bootcamp: Best Practices for RF Fixture Design

SMD Fixture-low res

For the measurement of a Device Under Test (DUT) to be accurate, the fixture which connects to it must be designed to provide an interface free of discontinuities and resonances. This webinar will review best practices for fixture design to achieve this end. A well-designed fixture may then be de-embedded with our Automatic Fixture Removal (AFR) software in order to arrive at an accurate measurement of the DUT alone. While Copper Mountain Technologies is not a fixture design company, we want to share what we have learned about fixtures to help you with yours.

Introduction to Antenna Aperture

Introduction to Antenna Aperture Webinar

Antenna Aperture Antenna Physics Antenna Measurements
The concept of antenna aperture is perhaps the most important antenna specification that is often misunderstood. Many commonly published equations for radio engineers rely upon antenna equations that employ aperture but never explain the fundamentals, they simply give the equations and leave it at that. In addition, two other selected topics will be presented: antenna radiation resistance and the mechanism of antenna radiation.

 

The purpose of this brief overview is to explain these concepts. Virtually all advanced texts on antenna theory explain these topics in detail, since their goal is to provide deep understanding of the subject. This is an attempt to provide an empirical fundamental understanding while providing the key equations of these often misunderstood topics.

VNA Impedance Measurement for Power Distribution Networks

Webinar: VNA Impedance Measurement for Power Distribution Networks

Screen Shot 2019-01-22 at 2.30.56 PM

Almost all modern circuits are sensitive to power quality, which to a large extent is a measurement of the power rail impedance. This is because flat impedance power rails result in much lower noise than power rails that aren’t flat. In RF circuits the peaks generally result in increased phase noise, while in digital circuits the issues are related to the allowed voltage window for the ASIC’s. In high-speed transceivers, these peaks result in jitter, which is also related to phase noise. In analog circuits, the peaks can result in increased noise density and in analog to digital converters the peaks result in spurious responses. The power rail impedance is typically controlled by the careful selection of bulk aluminum or tantalum capacitors, ceramic decoupling capacitors, inductors, and ferrite beads. The instrument of choice for these impedance measurements is a vector network analyzer and the most common and highest accuracy measurement is the 2-port shunt through technique, using a 2-port VNA. The VNA offers the excellent dynamic range and also wide bandwidth.

Webinar: Accurate Cable Measurement Technique Using a Purpose-Built Automatic Calibration Module with a VNA

Screen Shot 2019-01-02 at 12.09.26 PM

Copper Mountain Technologies’ VNAs are used for various test and measurement applications. A fundamental requirement of most test systems is to have a good RF coaxial cable. RF coaxial cables are transmission lines which help transfer energy from one end to the other. So, it is critical to have the best performing cable which transfers the most energy possible. Copper Mountain Technologies also manufacture Automatic Calibration Modules (ACMs), which are primarily used to obtain highly accurate automated calibrations. The purpose of this seminar is to focus on how to test a cable accurately using an ACM.
