The system in Figure 2 uses the ADF4372 PLL (see Figure 5), a wideband synthesizer with integrated VCO, that allows the implementation of fractional-N or integer-N frequency synthesizers when used ...

RF signals historically are measured using spectrum analyzers, at least that was before oscilloscopes offered sufficient bandwidth for those measurements. With oscilloscope bandwidths over 100 GHz, RF ...

As the number of higher-throughput applications grows, so does the need for wider bandwidth and network coverage in wireless systems. Given limited spectrum allocation, wireless communication ...

Every wireless signal chain design begins with signal chain choices. Once a systems engineer has decided on a signal chain architecture (e.g., superheterodyne, zero IF, IF sampling, etc.), components ...

Modern radio frequency (RF) components introduce many challenges to outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) suppliers whose objective is to ensure products are assembled and tested to meet ...

What are the different materials are used in creating GaN power transistors? The impact of heat on performance. A rundown of high-power RF GaN transistors currently on the market. Solid-state power ...
