RF Signal Level 101: Learning the Basics With Brady Volpe and Ron Hranac
Brady Volpe & Ron Hranac will start by answering the question "What is signal level?" Ron will explain how signal level is measured and how it relates to the strength of the signal being transmitted.
He will also discuss the relationship between current and voltage and how they impact the overall power of a signal.
Moving on, we will dive into the concept of peak vs RMS and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each measurement method.
Ron will also explain how signal level is often expressed in decibel millivolts (dBmV) and why this is an important metric for signal analysis.
Together, we will explore amplitude modulation and how it affects signal level. Ron will also discuss peak power and peak to peak amplitude and their relevance to signal analysis.
Next, we will compare the frequency domain vs time domain and how each perspective provides a different way of analyzing signals. Ron will explain the concept of QAM signal power and how it is used in digital communication systems.
So join us as we learn from Ron's vast knowledge and expertise on signal level, current and voltage, and power!
