RF systems that directly interface between digital bits and RF front-ends are rapidly gaining interest as the number of transceivers in mobile systems is increasing. This tutorial will review the ...

When it comes to giving your projects wireless capabilities, A 433MHz RF Module is the most common and easiest way to get things done. A 433MHz RF module uses the ASK modulation methods to transmit ...

This tutorial presents an overview of RF and mm-wave power-amplifier (PA) designs in silicon, focusing on the design fundamentals. First, the tutorial introduces PA performance metrics and their ...

Wolfspeed, A Cree Company and a leading global supplier of gallium nitride on silicon carbide (GaN-on-SiC) high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) and monolithic microwave integrated circuits ...

For example, differential circuits are commonly used in RF designs for low noise amplifiers (LNAs), mixers, power amplifiers, and charge pumps (Figure 3). In a fully differential circuit, any lack of ...

This simple RF signal detector circuit can be used to trace the presence of RF signals and electromagnetic noise in your residential area, office or shop. It can be a useful tool while testing or ...

Design Example #1 The goal is to match the output impedance of a low-power RF transistor amplifier to a 50-output load, and 50 Ω is a universal standard for most receiver, transmitter, and RF circuits ...

Using the industry’s first full-spectrum device-noise-analysis engine, Analog FastSpice RF provides true Spice accuracy for every run. For complex circuits, it is five to 10 times faster than ...
