How Amplifiers Are Improving Weather Prediction And Research

Weather satellites can measure crucial meteorological data, including precipitation, water vapor, and temperature, more accurately than ever. Part of the reason behind this is highly sensitive amplifiers that can detect even the weakest signals from the environment, which are essential for predicting weather with more precision.

SPOTLIGHT ON AMPLIFIERS & OSCILLATORS

Amplifier Selection Tips For EMC Applications

When choosing an amplifier for EMC testing, there are various factors to consider, including technology, class of operation, good linearity, and low harmonic distortion and more. 

Amplifier Characterization Using Load Pull

Load pull is a powerful method for characterizing RF power amplifiers through impedance variation. Load pull enables model extraction and validation as well as performance, ruggedness, and efficiency testing.

EMC Test System Power Amplifier Checks

Go inside a fault-finding test procedure that establishes the health of the preamplifier using its small signal performance data, which is gathered and checked against previously recorded data.

Microelectronics Powering The New Space Economy

With GaN amplifiers for space, radiation-tolerant data recorders, and other technologies, the new space economy is well-positioned to decrease costs, opening the doors to a host of new applications.
