Rob Rowe with AR discusses the current state of solid state amplifier’s pace of technology, and how advancements in higher linearity, reduced harmonics, and higher power are impacting applications involving wireless communications, testing in consumer, aerospace, and automotive applications, and more.
Greg Rogers with Bliley Technologies discusses quartz crystals, their G-sensitivity, and how his company mitigates the effects of vibration on their oscillators.
C.J. Reddy with Altair Engineering discusses some of the unique challenges associated with antenna design in the age of 5G and IoT and what EM simulation software’s potential role is in addressing those challenges.
Don Pavlek with Corry Micronics discusses design considerations for high power RF switches. Watch the video to learn more about peak power, the impact of switching speeds, how the switch is packaged, and more.
Alan Ake with Guerrilla RF explains why engineers should be skeptical when a linear driver or LNA’s datasheet claims to feature unconditional stability.
Stan Oda with Anritsu discusses considerations for selecting a vector network analyzer for production applications.
Andrew Christie with Peregrine Semiconductor spoke with us about what one should consider when developing mmWave 5G solutions for applications involving fixed wireless access and access points for the densification of city areas.
At IMS 2017, Bror Peterson with Qorvo spoke with us about some of the trades that led his company to use GaN for linear FEMs for 5G phased array.
Our final video at IMS 2016 features CPI’s C-Band GaN solid state RF power amplifier module for maritime and defense radars, and high performance weather radars.
Innovation tends to lag in the power amplifier side of the system-upgrade business, and hardware systems designers may not fully understand the potential element of portability is solid state amplifiers. Jon Jacocks with Empower RF spent a few minutes with us on the last day of IMS 2016 to discuss the issue.
