In this installment of Practical EMC, Ken Wyatt reviews real-time spectrum analyzers, helping you to pick the one best suited to your needs and within your price range.

Horizon House Publications announces the formation of the High Frequency and High-Speed Media and Events Group made up of Microwave Journal and Signal Integrity Journal magazines plus EDI CON China, EDI CON Online events and managed exhibitions for IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium, on behalf of IEEE, and European Microwave Week, on behalf of European Microwave Association.

The demand for a systems-based approach to engineering is no longer optional; The EEcosytem Podcast was created to help Educate, Connect, and Equip design engineers.

In this power-electronics article, we focus on noise measurement of 48 V range voltage regulators (VRs), up to a maximum of 65 V. We propose a noise measurement setup and examine this method.

About 150 years ago the first stable transatlantic cable was laid and messages were sent between Ireland and Newfound­land over copper. The data rate on this cable was not even 1 bit/sec, it was 0.1 bit/sec. Concerns over the cable reliabil­ity and the slow data rate led some to believe copper was doomed as a communication media for these long cables.

In part one of this article, Bert Simonovich explained how air entrapment is the primary reason for Dkeff and phase delay discrepancies between simulation and DUT measurements. Read on to discover how to fix this issue.

In this edition of Practical EMC, Ken Wyatt walks you through different spectrum analyzers and his experience with them, helping you to pick the one best suited to your needs. 

Since the inception of IBIS, the IBIS Committee has been working to improve and accommodate limitations of the model. This article gives a synopsis of that history, along with detailing the latest version, IBIS 7.1.  

Steve Sandler was recently asked to measure a 25 mH inductor. Read on to find out what happened next.

In this article, John Baprawski reviews various issues when using S-parameter files to represent the channel in a SerDes system channel simulator. Stepping through several detailed examples, he demonstrates how paying close attention to the quality of the S-parameters allows you to have confidence in the derived SerDes design eye diagrams and other analysis methods.
