Quantum Receivers And Navigating Quantum-State Space

We live in a connected world in which the volume of data is growing by leaps and bounds. Sharing that data is getting increasingly difficult but, thanks to quantum technology – including quantum receivers – we might just be able to unjam the information highway.

SPOTLIGHT ON SDR & RECEIVER TECHNOLOGY

Modernizing A Legacy 16-Way Receiver Multicoupler With Mini-Circuits Parts

Faced with redesigning a 16-way receiver multicoupler for a '90s SATCOM application, advanced RF components were used to overcome obsolescence challenges.

Evolution Of The Modern Receiver In A Crowded Spectrum Environment

The ITU-R provides recommendations for managing federal RF through regulations and procedures. Let's explore the evolution from analog spectrum analyzers to modern digital receivers.

Amplifiers To Support SDRs

With the help of software-based transceiver architectures, military tactical radios can now support modern modulations and communication protocols, allowing for faster and more complex waveforms.

That's Life: Considerations Relating To Receiver Protector Life

When designing a microwave system, it's important to consider that some types of receiver protectors have a limited lifespan. Explore the different types and stages of limited-life receiver protectors.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

Head-To-Head Coaxial Interconnect Vs. OTA Testing For 5G

Over-the-air (OTA) testing has the potential to revolutionize wireless device testing while enabling innovative testing of both advanced antenna systems (AAS) and antenna array technology.

Near-Zero Spike Leakage Of Schottky Diode Limiters

GaAs Schottky diodes used in limiters are manufactured using a THz process. This unique process enables these diodes to switch on and off at incredibly high speeds. 

A Hybrid Couplers Primer

Hybrid couplers are used in various applications including amplifiers, switching circuits, and antenna beam-forming networks. They can split and combine signals and monitor power or frequency levels.

How Digitally Tunable Filters Enable Wideband Receiver Applications

Modern wideband RF receivers often encounter unwanted signals that can interfere with desired signals. Filters are key to removing these interfering signals in RF front end and oscillator sections.
