In RF testing, an essential attribute of every RF signal generator is the maximum output power it can supply to a device under test (DUT) while maintaining spectral purity and level accuracy. The ...

As covered in my previous blog post, all diesel-powered generators should be loaded to at least 30% of their standby nameplate rating when exercised during their monthly test. If the connected load ...

Historically, generator inspections require rotor removal (Figure 1). There’s a significant level of risk during this process due to possible generator damage during the disassembly, and it also ...

This paper is presented with the Video Graphics Array (VGA) and Digital Visual Interface - Digital (DVI-D) test pattern generator solution with display monitor timing specification as per the Video ...

Many spectrum analyzers include tracking generators, but some new engineers my not completely understand what the purpose is and how they can help with certain measurements. In a nutshell, tracking ...

You use an active-load test circuit to ensure that a power supply for a microprocessor or for other digital loads supplies 100A transient currents. This active load can provide a dc load for a power ...

If these signals exhibit a simple, periodic waveform, such as with sine, square, or triangular waves, the generators are called function generators. They are often used to check the function of ...
