Why You Can’t Just Use a Spectrum Analyzer Industry has an increasing demand for spectrally pure signals in applications such as imaging radar, mobile communications, satellite communications, weather ...

Measuring phase noise with a spectrum analyzer. The primary advantage of dedicated phase-noise analyzers. The cross-correlation method. Using a spectrum analyzer is the oldest, most straightforward, ...

As the number of higher-throughput applications grows, so does the need for a wider bandwidth and network coverage in wireless systems. Given limited spectrum allocation, wireless communication ...

Many noise sources can plague high-speed radio-frequency (RF) analog signal chains, making design considerations that much more challenging. Both megahertz and sub-terahertz sampling-rate converters ...

A signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) lets us express the relationship between signal and noise powers, as well as between the root-mean-square (rms) values of signal and noise voltages: SNR (dB) = ...

Noise has always been important to communications experts, but it’s quickly becoming an issue that every semiconductor designer has to contend with. Some chips already have been compromised. Noise can ...

Learn how ECG noise filtering that adapts to noise type improved QT and QRS accuracy and supports more reliable cardiac ...

The system in Figure 2 uses the ADF4372 PLL (see Figure 5), a wideband synthesizer with integrated VCO, that allows the implementation of fractional-N or integer-N frequency synthesizers when used ...

As the number of higher-throughput applications grows, so does the need for wider bandwidth and network coverage in wireless systems. Given limited spectrum allocation, wireless communication ...

Noise is the real enemy of data communications. Whenever electrons travel over a wire or radiate through space, they generate some electromagnetic noise. Therefore, whenever a data signal is sent ...
