the Pico Technology TA095
accelerometer.
Integrated Electronics
Piezo-Electric (IEPE) is the
technical standard for sensitive
piezo-electric sensors
that include built-in active
impedance conversion to
boost the high-impedance
signal through long lengths of cable with minimal noise. IEPE
sensors are used in a vast variety of practical applications and
industries such as automotive, medical, and aerospace, measuring
acceleration, force, pressure, or audio.
Using the TA487 is as simple as connecting an IEPE sensor
and the included USB cable to the TA487 and attaching it
to a PicoScope or 1 MΩ BNC oscilloscope to capture data from
the sensor. The TA487 provides the necessary constant current
source and signal conditioning to both power the IEPE sensor
and AC couple the signal into the measurement device.

EMI Test Receiver Bandwidth Extended
To 1 GHz
Rohde & Schwarz has
introduced a unique wideband
receiver solution
which is able to measure
up to 970 MHz in real time,
while keeping a high dynamic
range and measurement accuracy. With this new
extension, the R&S ESW EMI test receiver features the largest
bandwidth in the industry and becomes the fastest EMI test receiver
on the market according to R&S.
To speed up measurement time and to provide a more
careful analysis of interfering signals, the R&S ESW EMI test
receiver will offer the possibility to increase its FFT (Fast Fourier
Transform) bandwidth to 350 MHz with the new R&S
ESW-B350 option, and to a market-leading 970 MHz with the
new R&S ESW-B1000 option. This makes the R&S ESW not
only an instrument of highest performance in RF, functionality,
versatility, and hardware quality, but also in high-speed testing
especially for pretests and general EMI analysis.
With the R&S ESW-B1000 offering 970 MHz of FFT bandwidth,
the R&S ESW can process the CISPR Bands C and D in
one shot- even with quasi peak and CISPR average detectors
working in parallel- offering a significant gain in measurement
speed. The 970 MHz wide spectrum is measured in real
time; users benefit from a truly gapless spectrogram. Infrequent
emissions can be observed over a significantly longer
time and are detected with a much higher probability.
December 2022
EMC engineers working in commercial, military, aerospace
and automotive applications will benefit from the faster speed
and better signal insights provided by the new FFT bandwidth
extensions of the R&S ESW.

Single Sweep VNA-Spectrum Analyzer
Solution
Anritsu Company enhances
its VectorStar™
vector network analyzer
(VNA) family with comprehensive
spectrum
analysis capability to create
the world's first single
sweep VNA-spectrum analyzer solution that supports 70
kHz to 220 GHz. With the spectrum analyzer option installed,
VectorStar can conduct single connection VNA and spectrumbased
measurements to create a more efficient and accurate
testing environment to verify active and passive devices during
the design, troubleshooting, or characterization stages.
The spectrum analyzer option is compatible with all baseband
VectorStar models- broadband and banded system
configurations. Integrating VNA/spectrum analyzer capability
provides engineers with an innovative method to quickly
transfer a challenging VNA measurement to the spectrum analyzer-
without changing the test setup or using multiple
instruments. It is particularly beneficial for applications involving
mixers and amplifiers, including those with multiple
outputs or input-output comparisons.
Simultaneous, sequential S-parameter and spectrum analysis
are possible with the VNA-spectrum analyzer instrument.
Spectral domain measurements of harmonics, spurious, other
distortion products, and general frequency content can be
made effectively with the single-instrument solution. It allows
engineers to analyze VNA-like and spectrum-analyzer-like response
of a device under test (DUT).
Two configurations are available in the spectrum analyzer
option. The standard VNA mode supports point-based spectrum
analysis for faster measurements, making it well suited
for known signal analysis. For unknown signal analysis, the
solution can be configured with a traditional sweep-based
spectrum analyzer.

Testing Digital High-Speed I/O
A.T.E. Solutions has announced the High SPeed INput/OUtput
Tester (Hi-SPINOUT) that operates as automatic test
equipment (ATE) that performs tests on high-speed input/
output ports and buses to find manufacturing and in-use defects
on circuit boards and systems. It can also be configured
