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.

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 ...

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 ...

IDT RF Product Benefits Overview High-Gain Broadband RF Amplifier 600MHz to 4200MHz Many Applications General-purpose RF amplifiers are needed in virtually all wireless designs.

Engineers often perceive RF-low-noise-amplifier design as a difficult task. Obtaining a low-noise figure with high stable gain can be challenging—even intimidating. However, with the recent evolution ...

The design and modelling of power amplifiers are central to advancing high-frequency applications, including wireless communication, radar, and satellite systems. In these devices, accurately ...

Over the years, tutorials have appeared in EMC journals explaining how to estimate the power required from a power amplifier intended for use in an RF immunity test system. Little ...
