Both resistive type and reactive type power divider/combiners can be used to fan-in or fan-out RF signals. However, both types distribute RF signals in a different fashion. This white paper offers guidelines and considerations for determining a divider/combiner for each application.
Noise figure often characterizes a receiver and how well it can detect weak signals in the presence of self-generated noise. The process of reducing noise figure begins with a solid understanding of the uncertainties in your components, subsystems, and test setups.
This article describes design of a GaN transistor with internal GaAs input matching. The input matching network is designed for the 2.7 – 3.5 GHz frequency range, making the transistor suitable for S-band radar applications.
Working in a busy lab sometimes presents the challenge of finding the right tools for every day jobs like the simple mating of two flanges. A simple solution is the quick connect apparatus from SAGE designed for 0.75” circular flanges.
This app note discusses generating high-quality, narrow pulses using the R&S SMA100B analog RF and microwave signal generator. Thanks to a closed-loop level control concept also for narrow pulses, outstanding level accuracy and repeatability is available for pulse widths starting at 100 ns.
Understanding the polling features in the Zigbee standard can help to optimize the power consumption of IoT products. Take a closer look at Zigbee’s polling mechanism and an example using a fire alarm sensor application.
The evolution of networks to 4G has created new challenges for operators, such as the growth of base station capacities putting extra demands on backhaul networks. This paper introduces FlexPort Mobile Backhaul Platform solutions that look forward to 4G while supporting existing access technologies.
Performance of a 12-port handset antenna array operating in LTE bands 42/43 (3400-3800 MHz) and band 46 (5150-5925 MHz) is analyzed in XFdtd for varying hand hold positions on the device. The results computed include S-parameters, Gain, Efficiency and Envelope Correlation Coefficient.
New spectrum is critical for the successful launch of 5G mobile services, and many endeavors are ongoing to identify new suitable spectrum. Each available spectrum range has specific characteristics that make it suitable for certain deployment scenarios and applications. This paper discusses the dependencies between the 5G applications spectrum requirements and spectrum ranges that are attractive for 5G deployment services.
As radio systems have grown and become more complex, the number of interferers has also increased. This white paper introduces the basic concepts of interference hunting and explores the different types of interferers, how to analyze them, and the tools needed for the job.
