My first job on leaving college was maintaining military radios. I had covered RF theory, but found that the practice was significantly different. The company’s detailed design work was performed at a ...

Next-generation RF to millimeter-wave silicon MMIC and module product development software Cadence is excited to announce the launch of its latest RF design and analysis platform, Virtuoso Studio RF.

To meet emerging 5G and IoT application requirements, RF and digital engineers must able to address system performance changes and partition designs between RF/analog and digital components. As ...

If you’re planning on working satellites or doing any sort of RF work where the signal lives down in the dirt, you’re going to need a low-noise amplifier. That’s typically not a problem, as the market ...

Growing demands in wideband radio and wireless communication deployments are imposing the necessity of a proper radio architecture capable of providing solid performance, more flexibility, in addition ...

Abstract: 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 ...

Abstract: Mixers are essential building blocks of every RF transceiver, often compromising the noise and linearity performance of the entire receive or transmit chain. Specifically, the switching ...

We usually reserve the honor of Fail of the Week for one of us – someone laboring at the bench who just couldn’t get it together, or perhaps someone who came perilously close to winning a Darwin Award ...

Synopsys offers an RF design reference flow and companion design solutions kit that speed design closure on Samsung Foundry’s 8-nm FinFET process. The 8-nm RF design reference flow, which tightly ...

• Smart cascade analyzer: Dynamically computes cascaded gain, noise figure, third-order intercept point (IP3) and sensitivity, with real-time updates that continuously optimize datalink performance. • ...
