An ideal signal has no phase noise, harmonics nor spurious frequency components associated with it.
Unfortunately the ideal signal does not exist in the real world, and these factors degrade the spectral
purity of all real world signals to some degree. High‐performance microwave signal generators are
designed to maximize spectral purity, with very low levels of phase noise, harmonics and spurs, while
maintaining general purpose flexibility. The levels of spectral purity performance are one of the key
differences between high‐performance, mid‐range and low‐end or entry‐level signal generators. This
paper discusses the factors that make up spectral purity specifications to help you make more informed
comparisons of microwave signal generator performance for test and measurement applications.

Engineers often want to know whether an adhesive is low outgassing or generic. And while there are cases when nothing but a low outgassing product will do, the truth is that many so-called generic adhesives inherently have low outgassing levels. What's more, most bonding, potting, encapsulation and sealing applications don't need to meet a defined outgassing specification. Here's a guide to understanding when low outgassing adhesives are the right choice.

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- VTI Instruments Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the SentinelEX Series of "Smart" Dynamic Signal Analyzers (DSA). SentinelEX, VTI Instruments' 4th generation of "Smart" dynamic signal analyzers, builds upon a proud legacy established in the 1980's by continuing to deliver the most trusted solutions to the noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) marketplace. 

Logo

Measurement performance is elevated to new levels with 625 k samples / second / channel data rates, true differential inputs with superior common mode performance (CMRR of -120 dB) reducing unwanted noise and interference, an industry leading spurious free dynamic range (SFDR of -125 dB) offering exceptional measurement fidelity, and uncompromised IEPE excitation flexibility, fully programmable from 2 mA to 20 mA, to maximize transducer performance and response.

Access to corporate wide cloud data management delivers advanced test data availability, security and storage services throughout the organization, while AXI-based open-platform FPGA synthetic instrument customization extends traditional hardware performance by combining nearly unlimited user-defined computational, processing, and control possibilities.

Industry standard MATLAB® and Simulink® and other model based design tools simplify implementation, maximize re-usability, and provide access to hundreds of standard filters and algorithms such as real-time distributed analysis. Hardware enhancements also include comprehensive runtime health monitoring and self-calibration, without the need to disconnect external transducer cabling, for uninterrupted system level confidence and peace of mind. Precision distributed measurement synchronization is accomplished utilizing IEEE 1588 (precision time protocol) ensuring that test data is time correlated, whether the instrumentation is centrally located or distributed around the test article. 

"The SentinelEX Series is a perfect fit for a broad range of applications including acoustics, modal, order analysis, and machine condition monitoring, as well as general purpose high speed digitization and signal analysis," said Chris Gibson, VTI's Business Development Manager. "Part of the largest worldwide install-base of DSA instrumentation, these innovative products are the gold standard for physical measurements, delivering unmatched confidence and performance."

All development activities have been based on open-architecture design methodologies, resulting in a level of hardware and software independence not available in previous generations of DSA instrumentation. Industry standard drivers and programming interfaces support all major programming environments, and complete turn-key solutions, such as open-source X-Modal III Modal Analysis Software and SO Analyzer, are available and supported through VTI Instruments Corporation.

With relatively few progressions in conventional optical microscopy during the past decade, pushing through the physical limitations of these systems has proven to be challenging. Despite this stand-still, engineers have recently been able to develop solutions to some of the limitations in modern microanalysis. Using an integrated design approach, digital microscopes have been developed to overcome many of the shortcomings of conventional optical microscopes. Specifically, in regard to ceramics, one of the major difficulties in observing and analyzing these materials is the complete lack of contrast typically associated with them, especially when viewed through a traditional optical microscope. However, by using the advanced features of fully-integrated digital microscopes, coupled with highresolution zoom lenses and digital camera technology, users can now image samples that were previously relegated to the realm of an SEM.

Management systems are sometimes misunderstood as nothing more than a heavy administrative burden providing limited business benefit. Many organizations with management systems in place have not effectively defined the processes, and have not put the required measurements in place. Perhaps it is because they think "ISO 9001 is separate from how we run the business," and limit their management system to simple checklists and work instructions. By maintaining these beliefs, organizations are missing out on significant opportunity. Increasingly, customers and stakeholders are not satisfied with basic compliance – they are looking for less reliance on procedures, and more focus on risk management.

The process approach to auditing means shifting focus away from basic compliance to embrace an "improvement" mindset. When activities and related resources are managed as a process, the desired results can be achieved more efficiently.
