Modern integrated circuits contain billions of transistors that require complex power distribution systems. This power distribution complexity combined with inexpensive switch-mode power supplies creates several sources of noise found on the power and ground planes of a PC circuit board. This interference is difficult to model using software and contributes to jitter timing problems within the IC. The Noisecom JV9000A is designed to generate random and deterministic noise on the power and ground planes to emulate this behavior. The webinar illustrates how the JV9000A can be used to generate these effects in real systems.

A noise source that produces white noise is essentially an inexpensive broadband signal generator with an extremely flat (constant) power density output versus frequency. Noise sources are almost insensitive to temperature and supply voltage variations. Noise sources are therefore used for Built-in Testing (BIT), Fault Isolation Testing (FIT), and calibration in communication and radar warning systems to ensure the reliability and performance of the link. The webinar will be about the discussion of noise relevant parameters and applications.

Serial data systems play an increasingly important role whenever volumes of data are processed or transported. Jitter is a key concern for engineers developing high speed components such as transmitters, receivers and data channels. Serial high speed communication systems need to operate within very tight margins; with data provided extremely fast and with an exceptionally low probability of errors.

Deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) is an experimental tool for studying electrically active defects in semiconductors.

Boonton Electronics has been awarded a contract with the Department of the United States Navy to supply Boonton’s 4500B RF Peak Power Meter in support of a Naval Sea Systems Command project.  The total value of the contract is approximately $1.5M and a considerable portion of the order is expected to be realized over the next two years.

Data transmission is often conducted under very difficult circumstances; weak signals that transport high data rates within an unfavorable noise environment have to be recognized by receivers. Furthermore, data streams have to be transmitted reliably and with low BER. Designers, developers and system engineers have to take less-than-ideal circumstances in consideration when they design their circuits or monitor their system.

The 4240 series is offered as one channel (4241) or two channel (4242) instrument. Both meters come with an integrated calibrator that provides an ultra-stable, 50-MHz reference signal, and deliver a calibration power range from -60dBm to +20dBm. A built-in calibrator allows sensor calibrations right before the measurement providing highest measurement accuracy.

This webinar is perfect for those looking to learn the basics about noise and what you can do with it. Wednesday, August 18th, 1PM-1:45PM EST.

The Noisecom, Noise by the Numbers, brochure is basically a tutorial about Noise. Learn all you need to know about what noise can do, how it is created, types of noise Noisecom provides and how to control it.

Noisecom has developed a precision NF-test-set for 60G devices. The systems consists of precision noise sources that cover the 60G band, isolators for best VSWR match, and very low noise amplifiers with 30 dB gain to increase the output of the DUT, if it is too low for direct measurement.

Frequencies are available from 100 to 160 MHz. A rechargeable Li-Ion battery allows continuous signal transmission of >10h, which makes Merlin an ideal signal source for field applications.
