Minimizing reflections and signal losses in test systems associated with the design, manufacture, and production of RF products can be a complex challenge. In addition to issues such as cable and ...

Every wireless signal chain design begins with signal chain choices. Once a systems engineer has decided on a signal chain architecture (e.g., superheterodyne, zero IF, IF sampling, etc.), components ...

To address the challenge of improving power-added efficiency (PAE) for high-powered amplifiers, Analog Devices developed the ADL5511 TruPwr rms and envelope detector. The chip combines two RF ...

One very successful trick I use to simulate radiated immunity on the bench is to run an RF generator into an H-field (loop) probe. The best level seems to be +15 to +20 dBm. This will generate an ...

Modern electronic warfare demands wideband RF systems that balance gain, linearity, efficiency, and power—enabling real-time ...
