The demands for faster wireless access and lower latency are continuously increasing. To meet these demands and to drive new use cases, regulatory bodies around the world open up spectrum in the 6 GHz band for unlicensed use. This new spectrum allows the Wi-Fi 6 standard, IEEE 802.11ax, to unfold its full power. It will...

The more successful a gate driver is in reducing power-up and power-down times, the bigger the headache for accurate measurements. Both choosing the right probe and optimizing the probing technique are significant factors in improving measurement accuracy.
This whitepaper provides guidelines.
As advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) introduce
new technology into vehicles, they need adaptable, futureproof test systems. NI offers a single, software-defined platform approach to automotive test that can natively integrate all the I/O types you need to test today’s and tomorrow’s ADAS technology....
This webinar is intended for engineers who work on power converter designs. The reliability of their performance and functionality is key, especially in industries such as automotive and aerospace & defense where failure can be critical.
This webinar begins with the fundamentals of probing, floating measurement...

To ensure the stability of voltage regulators and switchedmode power supplies, the control loop behavior must be measured and characterized. A well compensating voltage controller enables stable output voltages and reduces the influence of load changes and supply voltage variations. The quality of this control circuit...
Safety, availability, and cost considerations can make performing thorough tests of embedded control devices using the complete system impractical. Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation is a real-time test technique used to test these devices more efficiently. During HIL test, the physical system that interfaces...

Adding security to a device costs extra money, time, power consumption and makes everything worse. The only reason for adding security to a device is the need to improve marketing – security components help to sell more products. To participate in the evolution of Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things and cloud technologies...
Modern vehicles can contain over 100 ECUs controlling everything from the drivetrain to the ADAS systems. Each ECU needs to be tested individually as well as in conjunction with other components.
This white paper discusses the five main tester design challenges and five common approaches to ECU production test to...
To investigate the stability of a switched-mode power supply, a Bode plot created with an oscilloscope is ideal for checking the critical phase margin and gain margin values. The factors that determine how satisfactory the results from Bode plot measurements will be, need to taken into consideration as part of the preparation....
