Active inductors have emerged as a transformative component in CMOS radio frequency (RF) circuit design, effectively replacing traditional passive inductors with active semiconductor networks. By ...

Today’s consumer, communication, and computer electronic devices have clocks, communication interfaces, and high-speed signal-conditioning circuits that operate at radio frequencies (RF). Providing ...

Since the days of pioneers like Marconi and Armstrong, radio has fascinated countless numbers of engineers. Wireless technology has evolved from the days of bulky, power-hungry vacuum tubes to today’s ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Front-end limiter circuits using Schottky and PIN diodes can provide needed protection in communications and other RF systems. However, ...

Most people in the Embedded Electronics world view discrete RF Design as “Black Magic”. I would agree RF is complicated, but it isn’t Black Magic. The magic is that when you are dealing with signals ...

Many of you are familiar with the circuits and components developed by Bob Dobkin, CTO of Linear Technology Corp, and the late Jim Williams, Staff Scientist at LTC, along with others from LTC. Their ...
