Would You Bet Your Paycheck On Tomorrow’s Weather Forecast?

Weather forecasts are correct too often to ignore and wrong too often to rely on. But they are getting better – a five-day forecast today is as accurate as a one-day forecast was in 1980. What’s driving the improvement? Observation, supercomputers, and soon, phased array radar.

SPOTLIGHT ON RADAR & ANTENNA SOLUTIONS

Power Solutions For Phased Radar

Gallium nitride (GaN) technology, with its higher power, wider bandwidth, and high breakdown voltage, has evolved and found a niche in radar systems, with PMICs simplifying its operational requirements.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

The Importance Of HTOL And Burn-In Testing Methods

Because 5G base station locations are often exposed to extreme outdoor temperatures, test systems have been developed to help component manufacturers ensure intended quality and performance. Two test methods, high temperature operating life (HTOL) and burn-in testing, capture the two ends of the reliability characterization graph known as the “bathtub curve."

The Advantages Of Knowles Precision Devices’ Broadband Capacitors

While there are a number of broadband-blocking capacitors on the market today, many struggle to provide low insertion loss over a broad frequency range – but not Knowles Precision Devices’ Broadband Milli-Cap capacitor.

How Can Crest Factor Be Used To Assess Amplifier Linearity?

Crest factor (CF) is the ratio of a signal's peak amplitude to its average power. Analyzing an amplifier's input and output CF values can validate linear operation or determine nonlinearities in the system.
