Improving Amplitude Accuracy with Next-Generation Signal Generators

White Papers

Generate True Performance

Signal generators offer precise and highly stable test signals for a variety of components and systems test applications. In an RF test system, you extend the measurement accuracy from the signal generator’s output to the device under test (DUT). The nature of the cables, components, and switches in the paths between the instruments and the DUT can degrade the measurement accuracy.

This whitepaper will help you improve the amplitude accuracy of your measurements that involve signal generators. Before learning why amplitude accuracy matters and how to optimize amplitude accuracy, let’s start with the fundamentals of RF power measurements.
