Whitepaper: Mastering High Voltage: The Importance of Accurate Test Equipment
Introduction Accurate definition and measurement of critical electrical performance parameters is essential for ensuring the reliability and safety of high-voltage equipment and cabling. For applications which can involve tens of thousands of volts, safety risks are high, as are the demands on the test equipment used to measure the equipment and cables. Proper calibration of the test instruments themselves is critical to achieving the strict performance needs of many equipment types. Calibration results must often meet national and international specific standards and calibration measurements are typically conducted by certified laboratories with traceability to national standards, like [...]
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 - [...]
