Most analog folks are familiar with the use of a pulse generator and a scope to measure cable reflections and impedance. For those who are not, this lashup is called a reflectometer. Available as ...

Note: This article was originally published September 23rd, 2005 but we felt it was time for a little update based on some of the new products that surfaced to allegedly fix a non-existant problem.

The transmission of an electrical analogical signal between two devices requires a suitable cable that should allow for transferring it with low distortion and losses. Ideally a cable does not ...

Capacitance: 10 pF/ft DC Resistance: 0.003 ohms/ft Velocity Factor: 0.87 Inductance: 300 nHy/ft Note: Available as single cables or cable pairs in both I know what you are thinking - not another ...

In this interview, industry expert Jason Chonko shares practical strategies for overcoming common challenges in high-resistance and low-signal electrical measurements by addressing noise, grounding, ...

The High Voltage, Inc. VLF series of AC Hipots enables utilities to economically AC field-test cables and electrical apparatus instead of DC testing. A VLF unit is an AC hipot with a 0.1 Hz or lower ...

Over the past decade, demand for nano-electrical characterization has rapidly increased due to the continuous miniaturization of electronic devices. The semiconductor and microelectronics industries ...

Depending upon the distance between the surface of a capacitance probe and a target source, the electrical capacitance that is formed between these two objects will vary. In an effort to improve ...

Interconnect technology has a key role to play in test-and-measurement applications, whether you need to make a few connections on a benchtop or many connections in an automated test system.

BEAVERTON, OR. Tektronix Inc. has announced the availability of two new source-measure unit (SMU) modules for the Keithley 4200A-SCS parameter analyzer that can perform low-current measurements even ...
