In reality, RF signals are “rectified” at the input of the amplifier by electrostatic discharge (ESD) diodes, input structures, and other non-linear elements contained within the amplifier. In a ...

We all know the familiar dialogue from the flight attendant: All electronic devices must be turned off now to prevent interference with the aircraft navigation system. After we have reached our ...

This article presents the challenges in designing RF power amplifier efficiency. It briefly describes the use of different amplifiers and techniques to create an effective result. This article ...

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 ...

How to use DC-coupling for RF sampling ADCs. How to improve system linearity. Higher data rates in wireless communication systems and the use of narrower pulses in radars to resolve close targets ...
