In the process of debugging and validating both digital and RF designs, the oscilloscope Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) function and a variety of other math functions can prove valuable to designers ...

A few weeks ago we published an article on the newly released Keysight 1000X, an oscilloscope that marks Keysight’s late but welcome entry into the hacker-centric entry-level market. Understandably, ...

Modern mid-range oscilloscopes have more features than most engineers ever use. This article summarizes ten oscilloscope applications that may surprise you. In any event, you may find them useful. Use ...

Modern pulsed radar systems use advanced waveform and modulation characteristics to obtain greater range resolution, enhanced clutter suppression and superior target recognition. Specifically, ...

I became aware of harmonics and the sound of different shaped waveforms early in my electronics career (mid 1970’s) as I was an avid fan of [Emerson Lake and Palmer], [Pink Floyd], [Yes], and the list ...

FFT-EM is an innovative method that represents a combination of FFT and EM techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The technique is often used to determine the interior and surface ...

What causes the degradation of aluminum electrolytic capacitors in power-supply designs? What is ripple current and how can it influence capacitors in power-conversion circuits? Step-by-step ...

Datastick Advanced Analysis and Reporting Toolkit--or DAART--PC software was introduced and demonstrated at the PdM Predictive Maintenance Technology Conference in Omaha, Nebraska, by Michael ...
