Solutions for Ultra-Wideband signal generation and analysis: Radio Frequency (RF) testing is the process of measuring and analyzing the electromagnetic waves that are used to transmit signals in a variety of applications, from wireless communication and broadcasting to radar and satellite systems. RF testing involves evaluating the performance, strength, and quality of these signals to ensure they meet specific standards and requirements. This is essential for the development, validation, and maintenance of RF components and systems, as it helps identify any issues that could affect the functionality and reliability of wireless communications and sensing systems. Additionally, RF testing ensures electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)—covering both emissions and immunity to interference—, which are crucial for preventing interference and ensuring that electronic devices can operate harmoniously in their environments.

ATE Design with Python based approach to Instruments Automation, Programming and Control: Native instrument drivers translate instrument control commands to familiar constructs in a given programming language. Alternatively, many of our instruments enable TSP™ on-instrument scripting to optimize test speed and run headless on a bench or in a rack. Click here to learn more.
Communication Physical layer Validation in High-Speed Communication Design: High-speed digital standards are quickly evolving to support the performance demands of our data driven world. Next generation serial standards and data communication requirements are bringing new test challenges, pushing the limits of today’s compliance and debug tools. From design and simulation, analysis, debug, and compliance testing, Tektronix provides automated electrical test solutions to optimize performance, speed up validation cycles and accelerate time-to-market.

Key Topics to be Demonstrated by Tektronix at EuMW 2024
MIMO Radar System Testing Tools and Techniques
Modern technologies such as MIMO require the need for wide bandwidth, phase coherent, multi-channel analysis. Antenna elements in a MIMO radar system operate independently to cover a wide, often 180-degree, field of view without the need for directivity adjustments. This significantly improves scan times. The MIMO radar employs time, frequency, or coding techniques in each transmit signal to differentiate them in the receiver element to extract target properties. Click here to learn more.
RF Signal Generation in Quantum Computing
From an engineer’s perspective the continuous advancement of quantum hardware and technologies is amazing. Andrea Vinci's (Senior Technical Marketing Manager at Tektronix) interest began with curiosity about quantum physics. Now that curiosity is expanding as I gain a deeper understanding of the test processes, principles and criteria being used by these emerging technologies and how Tektronix can serve them. But let’s start at the beginning. Click here to learn more.
Electronic Warfare Equipment and Radar Capabilities
Today, the dynamic congestion contained within the electromagnetic spectrum from other emitters, jammers, and interferers demands higher fidelity instruments to accurately simulate the environments represented in the field to ensure radar electronic protection systems are fully tested, so our military forces can detect realistic threats and stay out of harm’s way.
