Agilent Technologies

Agilent Technologies, Inc. is a global company headquartered in Santa Clara, California, that provides instruments, software, services, and consumables for laboratories.

See Measuring receiver and Agilent Technologies

Amplitude modulation

Amplitude modulation (AM) is a modulation technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for transmitting messages with a radio wave.

See Measuring receiver and Amplitude modulation

Attenuator (electronics)

An attenuator is an electronic device that reduces the power of a signal without appreciably distorting its waveform.

See Measuring receiver and Attenuator (electronics)

CISPR

The Comité International Spécial des Perturbations Radioélectriques (CISPR; International Special Committee on Radio Interference) was founded in 1934 to set standards for controlling electromagnetic interference in electrical and electronic devices and is a part of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

See Measuring receiver and CISPR

DO-160

DO-160, Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment is a standard for the environmental testing of avionics hardware.

Electromagnetic interference

Electromagnetic interference (EMI), also called radio-frequency interference (RFI) when in the radio frequency spectrum, is a disturbance generated by an external source that affects an electrical circuit by electromagnetic induction, electrostatic coupling, or conduction.

See Measuring receiver and Electromagnetic interference

Hertz

The hertz (symbol: Hz) is the unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one event (or cycle) per second.

See Measuring receiver and Hertz

MIL-STD-461

MIL-STD-461 is a United States Military Standard that describes how to test equipment for electromagnetic compatibility.

See Measuring receiver and MIL-STD-461

Network analyzer (electrical)

A network analyzer is an instrument that measures the network parameters of electrical networks. Measuring receiver and network analyzer (electrical) are electronic test equipment.

Noise figure

Noise figure (NF) and noise factor (F) are figures of merit that indicate degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that is caused by components in a signal chain.

See Measuring receiver and Noise figure

Radio frequency

Radio frequency (RF) is the oscillation rate of an alternating electric current or voltage or of a magnetic, electric or electromagnetic field or mechanical system in the frequency range from around to around.

See Measuring receiver and Radio frequency

Radio receiver

In radio communications, a radio receiver, also known as a receiver, a wireless, or simply a radio, is an electronic device that receives radio waves and converts the information carried by them to a usable form. Measuring receiver and radio receiver are receiver (radio).

Rohde & Schwarz

Rohde & Schwarz GmbH & Co KG is an international electronics group specializing in the fields of electronic test equipment, broadcast & media, cybersecurity, radiomonitoring and radiolocation, and radiocommunication.

Sensitivity (electronics)

The sensitivity of an electronic device, such as a communications system receiver, or detection device, such as a PIN diode, is the minimum magnitude of input signal required to produce a specified output signal having a specified signal-to-noise ratio, or other specified criteria.

See Measuring receiver and Sensitivity (electronics)

Signal generator

A signal generator is one of a class of electronic devices that generates electrical signals with set properties of amplitude, frequency, and wave shape. Measuring receiver and signal generator are electronic test equipment.

See Measuring receiver and Signal generator

Spectrum analyzer

A spectrum analyzer measures the magnitude of an input signal versus frequency within the full frequency range of the instrument. Measuring receiver and spectrum analyzer are electronic test equipment.

See Measuring receiver and Spectrum analyzer

Telecommunications

Telecommunication, often used in its plural form or abbreviated as telecom, is the transmission of information with an immediacy comparable to face-to-face communication.

See Measuring receiver and Telecommunications

Tempest (codename)

TEMPEST (Telecommunications Electronics Materials Protected from Emanating Spurious Transmissions) is a U.S. National Security Agency specification and a NATO certification referring to spying on information systems through leaking emanations, including unintentional radio or electrical signals, sounds, and vibrations.
