Introduction:Keeping test systems cost effective and efficient is the goal of every test engineer. When more than one device under test (DUT) or points of test are incorporated in the system, routing of signals becomes necessary. Understanding the switching of these signals from DUT to source or measure is important for system integrity. Designing the switching to meet the needs of the system requires knowledge of the DUTs, the number of DUTs, signal levels, speed required, and equipment that performs the routing of the signals. This seminar presents the basics of switching, from types of switches (relays, transistors, etc.) to switching systems (multiplexer, matrix, etc.). Those that participate in the seminar will learn and understand: • Types of switches (relays, transistors, etc.) • Types of switching systems (multiplexer, matrix, etc.) • Signal types to be routed (DC, AC, RF, etc.) • Using multiple types of signal routing and switching in one system • How to improve speed and accuracy of the system
Target Audience: This seminar is recommended for test engineers and system designers in production environments who wish to get a better understanding of switching in test systems.

Introduction:Radar designers are confronted with ever increasing demands for more functionality, precision, range and reliability. Modern Active Electronically Scanned Array Radars highlight some of these challenges. These radars allow multiple target acquisition and tracking using beam steering techniques. There can be thousands of Transmit / Receive Modules (TRM’s) per radar system which need compact and efficient designs. These challenges demand state of the art RF performance with proven repeatability and reliability. This webinar will enable you to understand how NXP’s product offerings meet these demands for Radar Systems design, particularly with respect to components available from our High Performance RF business line.
