FROM THE EDITOR

What Makes Teeny Tiny Amplifiers And Oscillators Tick?

The integration and miniaturization of amplifiers and oscillators, crucial for modern electronics, are achieved through integrated circuits, allowing for smaller, more reliable, and efficient devices. 

SPOTLIGHT ON AMPLIFIERS & OSCILLATORS

A Day In The Life Of An RF/Microwave Attenuator

Fixed RF attenuators are versatile components that not only provide useful level control features but can be used to enhance the return loss at the input of a mismatched component/device in the signal chain.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

Make Smart Use Of Preamps In RF Testing

Preamplifiers are essential in RF testing, boosting weak signals for accurate analysis. Proper setup and equipment matching ensure reliable results, prevent errors, and minimize costs.

How AWGN Tests Amplifier Linearity Using Noise Power Ratio?

AWGN sources enhance advanced systems by testing interference response, boosting Directed Energy Weapons via coherence spreading, and securing sensitive data encryption.

MMIC Amplifier Product Families Decoded

Explore four MMIC amplifier lines—ADM, AMM, APM, and AKA—each designed for specific RF applications, including high-frequency LO drivers, gain blocks, and low-noise amplifiers.
