Historically, engineers working with high-frequency signals have relied on spectrum analyzers to identify, characterize, and test the performance of their designs, devices, and systems. But these devices fall short when analyzing signals with an unpredictable time-related behavioral component.
Tektronix Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers (RTSAs), however, capture and store signals as a seamless …
Touchscreen displays have taken over day-to-day life. From smartphones and laptops to smart TVs and vehicle navigation systems, touchscreen displays are improving the experience and functionality of devices for users. Even NASA uses touchscreen displays for most operations on its latest spacecraft.
In 2017, Tektronix launched the 5 Series MSO Oscilloscope, designed specifically for a touch …
Engineering Week
Since 1951, the engineering community has been celebrating National Engineers Week to celebrate the profession, raise awareness of engineering, and help ensure a diverse and well-educated future workforce. At Tektronix, this week is an opportunity to celebrate our engineers here, everywhere, and in every industry.
This year, we wanted to ask you – the engineers – to tell us …

The 2281S’s Role in Wireless Device Testing
According to the National Science Foundation, wireless broadband communications networks have become an essential component of society, and breakthrough innovations in wireless communications increase the ability of people, government, and businesses to interact with one another, supporting technological, economic, and social growth (National Science …
New innovations in technology have allowed us to begin adopting 5G communication network which allows users to share data at a pace that is 3 to 5 times faster than that of 4G (J.P.Morgan, 2021). By 2030, the 5G market is expected to exceed $180 billion just in North America alone (J.P.Morgan, 2021). As more users begin to switch to 5G, the demand for more wireless devices has increased and so has …
Selu Gupta is a Hardware Engineering Manager and a Continuous Engineering Support (CES) Strategist at Tektronix. She has 22 years of hands-on experience and is responsible for creating the framework and processes that allow engineers at Tektronix to conceive of and build test and measurement equipment. She started a “Women in Technology” (WIT) group at Tektronix in 2016 to foster an inclusive …
If you are involved in military, aerospace or defense and have been around radar and communication systems, with high-power RF transmitters and high-gain antennas, you are probably aware of the many risks associated with Radio Frequency Radiation (RFR) Hazards. RF emissions from these systems have the potential to cause catastrophic damage to operations and maintenance personnel, ordnance and …
The wireless spectrum is a finite commodity that is tightly regulated, managed and shared by all nations, manufacturers and citizens, who risk being fined if they are caught operating outside of what's regulated or licensed. The presence of interference or other signals of interest creeping into one's band of wireless spectrum is a daily occurrence to some and is of great concern to many who may …
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 …
