Webinar Overview
Frequencies up to 8 GHz were considered high frequency not too long ago. Applications such as 5G, WiFi, modern radars, ubiquitous sensors, etc. require measurements at frequencies well beyond 8 GHz. At millimeterwave frequencies, component characterization becomes challenging in two ways. 1) measurement uncertainty increases and 2) design margins decrease. In this webinar measurement professionals will learn how to get ready for component characterization at millimeterwave frequencies.
Attendees will learn:
typical measurements used for component characterization at millimeterwave frequencies
key factors that influence measurement uncertainty
how to minimize measurement uncertainty and produce accurate and reliable measurement
the five steps for reliable VNA measurements
how to estimate if a measurement is reliable
