6 Struggles Working With Oscillators (And How To Overcome Them)

Oscillators come with instability, noise, and spurious emissions. Overcoming these requires advanced design, materials, and thermal management for robust, high-performance systems.

SPOTLIGHT ON OSCILLATORS

1000W High Power Amplifier: AMP20177

AMP20177 is a rack-mounted High-Power Solid-State amplifier delivering >1000W with 60 dB gain across the 1.0-6.0 GHz range. 

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

4kW X-Band GaN Power Amplifier And Receiver Protector For Radar

CPI EDB has developed a 4 kW X-band SSPA, model VSX3717, the latest evolution of the solid-state technology and improvement in power density, software control, and health and status monitoring.

How Do You Make A Pulse In An RLC Circuit?

RLC circuit responses vary by damping ratio: overdamped, critically damped, or underdamped. Capacitance, resistance, and inductance all influence waveform behavior and peak current response.
