A Demo-Board S21 Is Not a Connector S21: Board-to-Board Coax Interconnects at 40 GHz
At EuMW 2026, Smiths Interconnect demonstrated EZiCoax spring-loaded board-to-board coax contacts on an Anritsu ShockLine USB VNA. The card quoted about −1 dB at 40 GHz, and the screen showed...
Measuring the Invisible: Isotropic EMF Measurement Up to 8 GHz and What WiFi 6E Changed
WiFi 6E opened the 6 GHz band. Most existing isotropic EMF measurement systems stopped just below it. The R&S TS-EMF with the new TSEMF-B2E antenna extends coverage to 8 GHz...
EMC & REGULATORY TESTING OF DUT WITH RADIO FUNCTIONALITY
An AVM FRITZ!Box WiFi router as the device under test. An instrument rack worth six figures keeping its radio link alive while the EMC measurement runs. The R&S TS8996 solves...
High-Frequency Test Setup: R&S ZNL6 VNA + FSV3000 Spectrum Analyzer in Action
A look at Rohde & Schwarz’s high-frequency test demo featuring the ZNL6 vector network analyzer and the FSV3000 signal and spectrum analyzer — a classic RF combo for S-parameter and...
Virginia Diodes 300 GHz Dual Polarization OTA Link at EuMW 2025: 63 Gbps Over the Air — and What the Demo Doesn't Show You
285 GHz. 12.5 GHz bandwidth. Dual polarization H+V. 63 Gbps. Live OFDM error summary on a Keysight UXR real-time oscilloscope. The Virginia Diodes demo at EuMW 2025 was the most...
LISN + EMI Receiver + a Light Bulb: The Conducted Emissions Test That Every Product Needs
Three things: a LISN, a light bulb, and an EMI receiver measuring from 9 kHz to 30 MHz. This is the conducted emissions test that every electrical product sold in...

Conversion Phase Needs an LO Reference: Reading a Vector Mixer Measurement at EuMW 2026
At EuMW 2026, Anritsu showed scalar and vector mixer measurements on its four-port Tensor VNA. On the demo screen, a consistent phase slope gave about 3.6 ns of group delay,...
EMV 2026: The Shift from EMI Receivers to Measurement Architectures
EMV 2026 in Cologne once again confirmed its position as one of the most important events in the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) field. Beyond product launches and live demonstrations, this year...

Synchronized, Automated, Multi-Band: The Keysight Approach to EMC and Wireless Coexistence Testing
869 MHz and 2.4 GHz monitored simultaneously, time-synchronized, with 100% probability of intercept and automated test sequencing. The Keysight multi-instrument coexistence demo at Cologne explained what it takes to validate...
Kelvin Measurement Explained: Why 4-Wire Sensing Is Essential for Milliohm and Micro-Ohm Precision
Measuring milliohm resistance is not as simple as applying Ohm’s law. At this level, lead resistance and contact effects dominate the result. Kelvin (4-wire) measurement eliminates these errors and enables...
