Navigating Design Complexities With Qorvo's Innovative Software Tools
Unlock the power of Qorvo's Design Hub, providing engineers with cutting-edge RF and analog design tools previously exclusive to Qorvo teams. Streamline your projects with precision and efficiency.
S-Parameters For High-frequency Circuit Simulations
Understanding the meaning of S-parameters, how they are measured, and their limitations can lead to more meaningful RF- and microwave-frequency simulations.
Measurement Setup For Phase Noise Test At Frequencies Above 50 GHz
Recent semiconductor technologies require more of the frequency range beyond 50 GHz, especially in wideband applications, such as 802.11ad, microwave links, or automotive RADAR. Low phase noise is essential for these applications to work properly, and accurate measurement of phase noise is needed to improve the performance. However, test setups at these frequencies become difficult, especially when cross correlation of two receive paths is needed to suppress additional phase noise.
Telecommunications Testing Using AR Amplifiers
This application note explores a number of testing requirements for telecommunication devices and how to benefit from AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation’s products. The paper will cover two broad categories of device testing – characterization and reliability – within mid to high power systems.
