What are the driving forces behind today’s rapidly changing RF semiconductor landscape? This article delves into the two major driving factors of change in the industry: the desire for ubiquitous sensing and the demand for more and better connectivity.
In June, David Lu discussed his company’s perspectives on 5G services — as well as his own — at IMS 2018’s 5G Summit in Philadelphia. Here, he delves a little bit deeper into 5G’s development and future, and discusses his own career.
Series-fed patch elements forming an array are simulated to demonstrate antenna performance and beamforming including S-parameters, gain, and effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) at 28 GHz. Beam steering is performed in one plane by adjusting the phasing at the input ports to each of eight elements.
An 8x8 planar antenna array creates narrow beams capable of scanning large sectors in front of the antenna. This example focuses on displaying typical simulation results for beams and possible plots of coverage from the full array and combinations of sub-arrays.
This application note describes the achievable channel-to-channel phase coherence of Berkeley Nucleonics Model 855 multi-channel signal sources.
This article presents a solution of using four L60T01 amplifiers in hybrid configuration as an alternative for a higher output power amplifier.
This white paper presents and discusses the advantages of using high power RF amplifiers that employ a high voltage GaN technology operating above the industry standard of 50 V.
When analyzing the robustness of data transmission systems, jitter is a key indicator. It is recommended to use jitter measurement instruments for both the time and frequency domain in order to differentiate between fast and slow moving artifacts. This white paper compares measurement results of jitter in the time and frequency domain.
Diamond’s unique mechanical, optical, thermal, and electrochemical properties make it effective for a range of industrial uses. Synthetic and natural diamonds display the same chemical structure and physical properties, but synthetic diamonds offer control over defects and synthesis conditions, allowing manufacturers to optimize and tailor their properties.
This white paper presents a technique using quartz crystals mated with energy saving low power SoCs for reducing oscillator power consumption while achieving optimal oscillation margin. The paper also demonstrates measurements and key principles for designing reliable and low power oscillators.
