Welcome To Our RF Amplifier Spotlight Newsletter

ABI Research recently reported that sales of RF power amplifier for wireless infrastructure will top $2.4 billion, and that translates into a lot of product design and manufacturing. The increasing need for wireless data will be a strong market driver for RF PAs, as the worldwide LTE deployment continues and new smartphone launches spur on the migration to LTE networks.
RF PA opportunities exist in the military market for 2013, too; however, the remaining threat of sequestration makes it harder judge where and how big they will be. Despite the uncertainty, GaN will increase its penetration into military systems, including AESA radar upgrades, communication equipment, and EW systems. While GaN pressures tube technology in these areas, I expect TWT amplifier implementation to remain strong, especially is airborne platforms like UAVs.

Amplifier Design Software
The higher-order modulation schemes employed in today's wireless networks demand exceptional linearity in the transmit signal path, and consequently RF amplifier designers must accommodate it. This invariably requires a trade-off between key performance parameters such as linearity and efficiency, which is greatly aided by the use of simulation software tools like AWR's Microwave Office, Visual System Simulator, and AXIEM as well as synthesis solutions like AMPSA’s Multimatch wizards.

Application And Theory Of Dielectric Materials In RF/Microwave Systems
By Emerson & Cuming Microwave Products
Maxwell’s equations define two terms which determine the response of a material to electromagnetic fields. These are the electric permittivity ε and the magnetic permeability μ. If these quantities are known for a material, then the reaction of a wave to the material is completely determined.
