Comparison of Time Domain Scans and Stepped Frequency Scans in EMI Test Receivers – PDF Download
Throughout product development, radiated emissions are repeatedly measured to ensure compliance to EMI standards. The use of Time Domain Scan greatly reduces measurement time without compromising accuracy, and thus can significantly save development costs. The Comparison of Time Domain Scans and Stepped Frequency Scans in EMI Test Receivers white paper from Rohde & Schwarz takes a critical look at the technology and advantages of making compliant measurements using time domain scan techniques.

An Introduction to EMC Amplifiers – PDF Download
Broadband amplifiers are used to generate the high field strengths required by EMC radiated immunity testing standards. Although output power and frequency range are the two most important specifications used in selecting an EMC amplifier, the overall performance of an amplifier is often strongly affected by additional internal and external factors. This whitepaper describes not only the basics but also intricacies and discusses parameters and characteristics which have the greatest influence on amplifier performance.

A technical overview of EMC amplifiers as well as a practical discussion of how amplifier class, compression points, VSWR, foldback, etc. impact amplifier performance in real-world scenarios.
