RF amplifier basics Jul 1, 2003 12:00 PM, By John Battison, P.E., technical editor, RF With so much attention on IBOC, it is appropriate to step back and review the basic principles of RF amplifiers.

This presentation describes fundamentals, practical methodologies, and tips for accurately measuring RF amplifiers with the RF VNA. The topics discussed include basic S-parameter measurements for ...

Reverse isolation is very good, because the RF stage is made of an op amp consisting of dozens or hundreds of transistors, instead of a single transistor. Forward gain is very good with a current ...

Download this article in PDF format. 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 ...
