Since 1992, HYPERLABS has been building industry-leading Test and Measurement equipment including ultra-broadband RF components, pulse generators, samplers, and cost-effective TDR and impedance analyzer equipment. During that time, we’ve learned a lot about test and measurement.
The Application Notes below contain technical information about our products and how to deploy them in your test setup.

Baluns are three port devices used to convert unbalanced signaling to balanced signaling, or vice-versa. Standard single port scattering parameters (s-parameters) fail to convey the common mode or differential mode response of the balanced, or differential port. This application note explains how mixed-mode s-parameters can be deployed to provide this useful information.
Application Note # AN-010 presents the HL9334, high-precision sampler/harmonic mixer integrated circuit (IC) offering excellent linearity, low noise, and flat frequency response up to 20 GHz (RF).
Application Note # AN-009 presents the tradeoffs between using 110 GHz DC Blocks made with Silicon (HL9439) and Ceramic (HL8439) substrates.
Measurements presented in Application Note # AN-008 to show that HYPERLABS’ broadband linear amplifiers perform exceptionally well in PAM4 applications at 10Gbaud.
Application Note # AN-006 focuses on differential to single-ended conversion versus single-ended measurements. We will show that using a balun with a high Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) will be beneficial to the designer only if common mode signals are present on the differential signal.
Application Note # AN-005 demonstrates use of HYPERLABS’ broadband coaxial components as general-purpose analog signal processing components for the generation of novel time-domain waveforms.
Application Note # AN-004 illustrates the step response and data response of our industry-leading HL940X Broadband Baluns.
Application Note # AN-002 compares differential s-parameter measurements taken with a single-ended 2-port VNA and a pair of HYPERLABS broadband baluns against a 4-port VNA.
Application Note # AN-001 shows the DC circuit model of HYPERLABS ultrabroadband baluns, which represent an evolution of the Marchand balun.
