MIL-STD-461 Series - Review of MIL-STD 461 CS103 Intermodulation, CS104 Rejection of Undesired Signals and CS105 Cross-Modulation

摘要

Rapid technology advances in the wireless communications world makes test and evaluation of Radio Frequency (RF) devices a difficult subject. It seems that by the time a new device hits the market, it has been made obsolete by the next generation. I recall hearing from a major electronics manufacturer CEO that 90% of sales happens within 90-days of market release prompting the need for a successor. This applies to commercial products, but similar technology leaps will follow the military equipment demands from the propensity to use commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technology for DoD systems.
