Advanced Research

Materials like Gallium Nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) are crucial to future power transmission technologies. Materials research is also boosting the conversion efficiency and power output of solar cells. Tektronix is leading the world in sensitive test and measurement instrumentation to unlock the potential of new materials.

Quantum computing researchers around the world are rapidly scaling up from single qubit proof-of-concept designs to complex multi qubit designs for validation of operating theory.

Rotational spectroscopy involves transmitting microwave or millimeter wave chirps through a gas sample, acquiring the received signal with a broad-band signal acquisition system, converting the time domain data to frequency domain, and finally, performing a pattern match of the acquired data against theoretical spectral composition of specific molecules to identify the actual contents of the gas sample.

Photonic doppler velocimetry, allows accurate velocity measurement of materials subjected to shock events. Initially developed to better understand the high energy physics related to explosive events, PDV analysis continues to evolve, with tremendous potential to advance research related to dynamic compression and shock physics.
