Today an ever-increasing number of sensors and actuators embedded in physical objects are linked through wireless communication. As most of these devices use standard internet protocols, they are collectively described as the Internet of Things (IoT).
Almost all these devices are battery powered, hand-held and require secure and reliable communication with one another. These requirements present a set of diverse challenges to device designers, including:
- Monitoring power consumption during both active & sleep modes to maximise battery life
- Evaluating signal line cross-talk, impedance mismatch and power rail ripples
- Characterising RF data packet coherence, transmission range and multi-radio interference
The oscilloscope is a versatile tool that can be used (along with other equipment) to evaluate this critical IoT device behavior. This webinar provides an overview of IoT testing challenges, and then shows how to use an oscilloscope to perform key IoT device measurements such as:
- Battery drain analysis
- Near Field Communication (NFC) test
- Embedded serial bus triggering and decode
If you are engineer interested in learning techniques to evaluate IoT devices using an oscilloscope, then you would benefit from attending this webinar.
