When choosing an RF instrument, it is easy to get lost in the many specifications that vendors use to characterize an instrument’s performance. Moreover, in a world where wireless technologies are ...

Phase coherence, that is a stable phase relationship between signals, is essential when making measurements that require more than one RF output. While this was once primarily required when evaluating ...

In this month’s column, we take a look at a short-distance two-way ranging system using a 5.8-GHz carrier to supply not only precise and accurate distance measurements but also complementary ...

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 ...

Phase shifters have uses in both optics and radio communications. Wide bandwidths are required for applications such as radio astronomy (see the article on the CSIRO work in this week's RF Report), ...
