Improve Measurement Integrity
White Papers
The wireless communication industry is experiencing massive technology advances across multiple systems. Cellular communication is transitioning from 4G to 5G to enable extreme data throughputs, and satellite communication providers are building networks in space to enable high-speed communications from anywhere. Wi-Fi stakeholders use the 6 GHz band to increase peak throughput via 1.2 GHz of accessible and unlicensed spectrum. What is the one thing these developments have in common? They all demand higher frequency bands and wider channel bandwidths to achieve the required data throughput.
Engineers must develop an accurate and reliable test system that delivers optimal performance to meet the requirements of these technology developments. Calibrating wideband channels at RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave frequencies presents challenges. This white paper covers the impact of frequency responses and modulator imperfections on wide bandwidth signals and how you can improve measurement integrity.
