  • Publication number: 20240204888
    Abstract: A radio frequency testing apparatus with voltage standing wave ratio adjustment for testing a device under test is provided. Said radio frequency testing apparatus comprises an input, an output, a signal source for providing a test signal for the device under test via the output, thereby forming an output signal path, a signal sink for receiving a received signal from the device under test via the input, thereby forming an input signal path, and a tracking generator. In this context, the tracking generator and/or the signal sink is configured to determine a corresponding voltage standing wave ratio at the input and/or at the output. Furthermore, the signal source is configured to pre-equalize the test signal on the basis of the corresponding voltage standing wave ratio at the output and/or the input. In addition to this or as an alternative, the signal sink is configured to post-correct the received signal on the basis of the corresponding voltage standing wave ratio at the input and/or the output.

  • Patent number: 11307231
    Abstract: A measurement system for determining a phase and amplitude influence of a device under test, comprising a measurement instrument having a signal generator, a local oscillator, a first mixer and an analysis unit is disclosed. The signal generator is configured to generate a source signal with a predetermined source frequency and a source phase, and to forward the source signal to the device under test, wherein the source signal is altered by the device under test in at least one of amplitude and phase, such that a measurement signal is generated and forwarded to the first mixer. The local oscillator is configured to generate a local oscillator signal with a predetermined local oscillator frequency and a local oscillator phase, and to forward the local oscillator signal to the first mixer. The first mixer is configured to mix the measurement signal and the local oscillator signal, thereby generating a first mixer signal.

  • Publication number: 20220007090
    Abstract: A unit wirelessly communicates data about the air pressure of a connected body, in this case an air brake line, with another unit having equipment to display this data to an end user. Units can be operated without any other physical external connection, allowing for flexibility in practical usage. The units may, in certain configurations, offer a user interface, collect and store data, and create mesh networking/storage systems with other units. Additional metrics may be collected and transmitted using the underlying communication system. In any case, the invention improves the efficiency and value of FRA required air brake pressure testing.

  • Patent number: 8967047
    Abstract: Igniter base for a pyrotechnic initiator has a glass base together with fused-in contact pins that function as a pole carrier and thus fixes the contact pins in secure correlation to one another. The end side of the glass base and the contact pins form a level plane, so that an ignition bridge resting flush on the glass base can be attached to the poles. The contact pins project beyond the glass base on the opposite side and a part of the glass base and a part of the contact pins projecting beyond the glass base are equipped with a plastic jacketing.

  • Patent number: 7351382
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a particle filter to remove soot from the exhaust gas of a diesel engine. The particle filter contains a catalytically active coating on a filter body to accelerate bum-off during a regeneration phase of the soot particles collected on the filter. The particle filter comprises a catalytic coating containing compounds of barium, compounds of magnesium, and at least one element of the platinum group metals. The invention is further directed to a process for accelerated combustion of soot particles collected on the filter from lean exhaust gas of a diesel engine in which the soot particles have a soot ignition temperature and the particle filter is actively regenerated from time to time by raising the temperature of the particle filter above the soot ignition temperature and burning off the soot particles.
