Oscilloscope probe accessories—It's the little things that matter 10/30/2009

Probe accessories, including tips, caps, adapters, springs, positioners, clips, and hooks, can help you conveniently make accurate measurements.

RF switching options: The right fit might come with a loss 9/17/2009

Manufacturers are offering SOI and MEMS alternatives to PIN-diode, GaAs, and electromechanical switches for a variety of RF applications, but you need to understand RF-switch specs before you commit to a new technology.

EDA companies tout RF design, links to test 7/9/2009

From RF/microwave-circuit-design tools to electromagnetic simulation, EDA companies work with instrument vendors to get high-performance, high-quality products to market.

RF Engineers Automate Tests 6/11/2009

Many test engineers sidestep the built-in capabilities in today's RF-test equipment and devise their own algorithms, applications, and automated tests.

40- and 100-Gbps Ethernet brings new test challenges 4/23/2009

IEEE P802.3ba will define an architecture for 40- and 100-Gbps Ethernet, giving rise to new test equipment and test techniques.

The Hot 100 Electronic Products of 2008 12/15/2008

EDN's editors offer up their annual list of the year's 100 most significant ICs, components, buses, boards, EDA tools, power devices, test instruments, and more.

Mysterious data errors 12/15/2008

Tales From The Cube: Input of 12 sequential 1s causes a data-collection system to output garbled data. This looks like a job for 12-gauge AWG wire.

Measure power-supply-loop transfer 12/5/2008

Using a function generator and an oscilloscope, you can measure gain and phase shift versus frequency in a power supply's control loop.

Stick to the schematic 10/30/2008

Tales From The Cube: How do you get a 1.6-GHz oscillation from a 1.2-GHz part? When you assigned an intern to build your circuit.

Repeat offender 10/16/2008

Tales From The Cube: A T1 multiplexer generates an unrecognizable waveform when driving a new repeater. The repeater vendor repeatedly swears nothing is wrong, and the boss is getting anxious.
