Linearity Of The JFET And MOSFET When In Saturation Over The Entire Cycle
Performing RF amplification in a way that is simultaneously linear and efficient has been a challenge in power amplifier (PA) design. Single transistor PAs can either be operated in a linear, but inefficient, current source mode of operation or as efficient, but nonlinear, switches. These techniques use two FETs, but this paper demonstrates that linear amplification can be achieved at high power with an efficiency greater than 60%, using a single FET.

Design And Implementation Of A Miniature X-Band Edge-Coupled Microstrip Bandpass Filter
Microwave bandpass filters are the fundamental component used in many RF/microwave applications to eliminate interference from signals operating at nearby frequencies. This application note presents a straightforward and largely nonmathematical method for designing an edge-coupled, bandpass filter for X-band operations with a combination of filter synthesis, closed-form edge-coupled transmission-line models, and EM analysis using the Microwave Office circuit simulator within Cadence AWR Design Environment software.

Making Higher Accuracy Oscilloscope Measurements
One of the most important functional blocks in a digital oscilloscope is the analog-to-digital converter or ADC. This white paper explains why ADC resolution has become a more important consideration in oscilloscopes, especially for measuring small signal details.
