With so much attention on IBOC, it is appropriate to step back and review the basic principles of RF amplifiers. The radio transmitter is a collection of stages. Each stage modifies the signal in some ...

Originally, operational amplifiers (op amps) were not thought of as candidates for RF design, but the advent of newer, faster devices has now made them an attractive option for some applications. The ...

Power amplifiers (PAs) are pivotal elements in modern wireless communication and radar systems, where enhancing output power and efficiency remains a critical challenge. Recent advances in PA design ...

Sponsored by IDT: What should you look for in a good RF gain block for wireless design? Here are some recommendations. What every RF design engineer needs these days is a good all-purpose IC RF ...

It is essential to use a combination of specialized and general CAD tools in RF and microwave solid-state power amplifier design. June 17th, 2020 - By: Wolfspeed, a Cree Company In the world of RF and ...

If you need an amplifier, [Hans Rosenberg] has some advice. Don’t design your own; grab cheap and tiny RF amplifier modules and put them on a PCB that fits your needs. These are the grandchildren of ...

The design and modelling of power amplifiers are central to advancing high-frequency applications, including wireless communication, radar, and satellite systems. In these devices, accurately ...

Engineers often perceive RF-low-noise-amplifier design as a difficult task. Obtaining a low-noise figure with high stable gain can be challenging—even intimidating. However, with the recent evolution ...

Over the years, tutorials have appeared in EMC journals explaining how to estimate the power required from a power amplifier intended for use in an RF immunity test system. Little material, if any, ...
