This hardware/software pair provides many ways to characterize RF signals up to 6.2 GHz, well beyond the output capabilities of the Raspberry Pi. Let's look at a few common RF measurements to get an idea of what characterization is possible, and examine the output of the Raspberry Pi.
Carrier Frequency
A carrier frequency is the base frequency that will be modulated in an RF signal. Without any …

Tektronix, the measurement insight company committed to performance and compelled by possibilities, celebrates its 75th anniversary of operations. Already well established as a supplier of high-quality test instrumentation in the United States, Tektronix saw the potential of expanding in Europe in the 1950s. With the advent of NATO in 1949 and increasing prosperity as the continent shook off the …
When you are working with 3-phase systems, having phasor diagrams available on your oscilloscope can save time during setup and provide faster insight into your system.
In general, alternating voltages or currents are represented graphically as voltage or current versus time waveforms. This is the traditional oscilloscope view.
A three-phase system consists of three sinusoidal AC voltages and …
