What is an Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG)?

February 14, 2025common problems 8120

Arbitrary waveform generators are a type of signal generator that generate realistic waveforms and provide a wide range of excitation signals. The various types of signals they generate are often used to stress test devices for communication protocols.

What is current? In this article, you will learn the difference between current and voltage, as well as the types of current and how to measure it. We all touch and use electricity on a daily basis. However, there are many things about electricity that you may not know. In this article, we will introduce you to the basics of electric current, the difference between electric current and voltage, and the types of electric current and how it is measured in an easy-to-understand...

What are network analyzers used for?
February 14, 2025 698
Network analyzers perform component characterization tests. A network analyzer provides a calibrated excitation signal to an RF network or device under test (DUT) and measures the vector response at frequency with phase and amplitude information. A VNA provides transmission (transmission coefficient, insertion loss, gain), reflection (reflection coefficient, VSWR, return loss), and impedance measurements, as well as s...

What is a current probe?
February 14, 2025 866
Many people use digital multimeters to easily measure current, voltage, resistance, etc. However, there is a drawback to using a digital multimeter to measure current, namely: the circuit must be disconnected and the digital multimeter must be connected in series with the circuit under test in order to make the measurement. In this case, a current probe can be used instead of a digital multimeter to make measurements. Since the electrical connection of the circuit is no longer required, the current probe is more time-consuming...

What is the difference between an oscilloscope and a spectrum analyzer/signal analyzer?
February 14, 2025 455
We usually use time as a frame of reference, focusing on when certain specific events will occur. This includes electrical events. Oscilloscopes allow you to view the instantaneous value of a particular electrical event (or the voltage value of some other event converted by an appropriate transducer) over time. In other words, we can use an oscilloscope to view the waveform of a signal in the time domain. Fourier theory...
