July 24, 2016
Author(s)
Dan Kuester, Ryan T. Jacobs, Yao Ma, Jason Coder
A complete characterization of multiple-device wireless interactions must include data relatable to the electromagnetic field radiated by each device under test (DUT). If these field sources are separable in time or frequency, they can be demultiplexed

Measuring a Device's Susceptibility to LTE: Preliminary Approaches

March 15, 2015
Author(s)
Jason B. Coder, John M. Ladbury
Previous testing has shown that measuring a device’s susceptibility to a radiated, broadband signal can present a different set of challenges than those faced when testing with a narrow-band signal. Decisions ranging from choosing a measurement facility to
