Evaluating S-parameters and other CW stimulus responses is essential for characterising rf amplifiers. An rf vector network analyser (VNA) plays a critical role for this purpose, and proper ...

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 ...

What every RF design engineer needs these days is a good all-purpose IC RF amplifier. You don’t want to have to design basic circuits like this yourself. Yet the need is always there for a gain block ...

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 ...
