2021 Special Report: Signal & Spectrum Analyzers (.PDF Download)
Instruments Boost Advanced Wireless System Development
The crowded RF spectrum, compounded by the explosion in application spaces joining the cloud, demands advanced development tools able to provide deeper insights into signals and their measurement.
Our society is in the process of migrating toward a more expansive and extensive Cloud-based, IoT-oriented, and “smart” community where people, things, and the very neighborhood they exist in, are all connected and communicating. The shiny future consumers are growing to expect, however, involves a monumental amount of device and infrastructure development.
The tools needed to create this future are luckily powerful and extremely functional and can make the difference between a relatively easy development process and design hell. For this Special Report we asked some companies about their latest solutions to aid your design, test, and evaluation needs. Signal & Spectrum Analyzers are critical to measuring the performance in wireless application spaces as well as perform standards-compliant wireless measurements.
Interference mitigation
When we reached out to Anritsu about challenges in the RF development space, their first response was that the No. 1 challenge that network managers face is interference mitigation. This can be an extreme challenge, as interference comes from more and more sources and as the spectrum continues to crowd, especially with new 5G bands.
