RF wireless burst analysis using oscilloscopes

摘要

Developers of wireless technology have historically relied on frequency domain equipment as their only source of feedback for high-speed wireless designs. With realtime oscilloscope bandwidths now topping 18 GHz, capturing and analyzing the full band of ultrahigh-frequency RF signals is possible due to rapid performance advancements in real-time acquisition technology. Real-time oscilloscopes offer unique advanced analysis capabilities not available using traditional frequency domain equipment for RF wireless technologies. Advanced analysis capability through statistical characterization techniques and customized processing can provide greater insight and increase design efficiency.
