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 ...

Important efficiency requirements exist on both the handset and the base-station sides of the telecom world. In handsets, efficiency directly translates into battery life. By increasing cell-phone ...

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 ...

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 ...

RF power amplifiers are going wide and high to meet wider frequency ranges and the need for more bandwidth. Many wireless electronic systems operate over wide frequency ranges and the need for more ...

Designing highly integrated components for radio frequency applications poses special challenges for system engineers, designers and the commissioning engineers. The boundary between chip, package and ...

With 14 envelope-tracking-enabled handsets now on the market, and more sets to follow in the coming years, envelope tracking (ET) has been firmly accepted as the industry standard for the architecture ...

Planar Monolithics’ LNA delivers relatively flat gain over the operating range and a 5-dB maximum noise figure.

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 ...
