Recently, I wrote automated test software for a multichannel data-acquisition system that I had designed, where sampled waveform accuracy and repeatability were very important. The input waveforms ...

An arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) is a powerful and flexible signal source capable of generating any wave shape within the bandwidth and amplitude range of the generator. Populating an AWG with ...

Sometimes a simulation might reveal a mystery peak in a waveform, but don’t necessarily let that dissuade you if the circuit is working and EMI or any other potential dangers aren’t lurking. My ...

One of the best things about digital oscilloscopes is that they can measure the acquired waveforms using a wide range of helpful measurement parameters. Most current oscilloscopes include about twenty ...

Scientists have created a new class of laser beam that appears to violate long-held laws of light physics. These new beams, which the team calls “spacetime wave packets,” follow different rules of ...
