Measuring RF Power Sensor Nonlinearity RF power sensor linearity is a commonly misunderstood topic. To obtain the most accurate power measurements, though, you need to understand what linearity is, ...

Recently, a reader wrote to me seeking a copy of a paper on measuring the transient peak-to-average power ratio of DTV signals. So perhaps the topic of DTV signal power, which is so different from ...

In August, this column took up some aspects of the measurement of DTV transmitter power output. You might wonder why I used the phrase "DTV transmitter power output" instead of "effective radiated ...

Wireless communications products that depend on RF principles are everywhere these days, and the growth rate is astonishing. From cell phones and wireless PDAs to Wi-Fi-enabled laptops, Bluetooth ...

Howdy guys - I have an XPA-2 amp hooked up to a pair of B&W683's and am curious how many watts (in real time) I am using. I am not worried about over driving the speakers or worried that the amp is ...

Peak power meters have long been accepted as accurate measurement standards. But just how accurate are these power measurements? Calculating the accuracy of RF peak power measurements requires more ...

RF power sensor linearity is a commonly misunderstood topic. To obtain the most accurate power measurements, though, you need to understand what linearity is, the sources of nonlinearity, and how to ...
