Radio Astronomy Measurements Using a GaGe RazorMax Digitizer
Radio Astronomy Measurements Using a GaGe RazorMax Digitizer Introduction Radio astronomy relies on highly sensitive measurements of weak electromagnetic emissions originating from cosmic sources, including galactic hydrogen clouds, star-forming regions, pulsars, and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). These emissions typically fall below 10 GHz, spanning the radio-frequency (RF) and microwave bands. In many cosmological studies—particularly those investigating early-universe star formation—signals of interest are concentrated well below 300 MHz. In the application described here, a customer is monitoring astronomical RF emissions centered near 100 MHz, originating from extremely distant sources. At [...]

Application Note: GaGe RazorPlus: Revolutionizing Radar Signal Recording for Military Vehicles
Introduction A moving military test vehicle is equipped with a radar system. From a fixed location, a user wants to record radar signals emitted by the vehicle during a motion sequence that lasts about one minute. This application note describes how Vitrek’s Gage RazorPlus CSE 16502 digitizer meets the requirements for this task. System Overview The radar system emits narrowband signals within the X band (8 to 12 GHz). These signals are down-converted to a lower frequency range of 0 to 200 MHz using a down-converter. The down-converter generates two output signals - [...]

Article: High-Performance Digitizers in Semiconductor Manufacturing Applications
High-Performance Digitizers in Semiconductor Manufacturing Applications PC-based high-speed, high-resolution digitizers perform critical data acquisition functions during semiconductor fabrication, die packaging, and final chip testing. Introduction Data acquisition is a critical element of quality control and compliance testing during three stages of semiconductor manufacture. The first stage is fabrication, in which single-crystal semiconductor wafers are subject to various operations that leave them imprinted with micro-circuitry patterns. During the second stage, the wafers are diced up into individual silicon “die” that are packaged into final chips. The third stage involves functional testing of the final chips to [...]
