All electronic devices contain capacitive or inductive components that can cause a disproportionately high current while switching on the device.
From an FPGA to a drilling machine, virtually every component or device requires an inrush current that by far exceeds the normal operating current. To properly design the...

Vector Network Analyzers of Rohde&Schwarz family are able to measure magnitude and phase of complex S-parameters of a device under test (DUT) in the frequency domain. By means of the inverse Fourier transform the measurement results can be transformed to the time domain. Thus, the impulse or step response of the DUT...
