Several important considerations must be made when choosing a connector for communications systems. This white paper will compare and contrast both classical and new connectors, and highlight their differences in terms of electrical and mechanical performance for specific applications.
GaN power amplifier design requires some different approaches and thinking compared to LDMOS or GaAs. Learn how nonlinear simulation models, like those from Modelithics, can help speed up design processes by downloading Part 1 of a two-part introductory series.
Troubleshooting an RF interface requires the use of a spectrum analyzer where the user must be watching the screen to witness the interference. This application note presents the Rack-Mount SignalHawk™ Spectrum Analyzer with Advanced Spectrum logging (ASL) as a solution to this problem.
Radio frequency power measurement has been an important component of semiconductor processing since the time that plasma was first used for wafer processing. Power measurement was, and continues to be important, as radio frequency energy is used to excite the plasma, and the plasma characteristics are in large part determined by the excitation energy. In this article, we will discuss various means of measuring radio frequency power, along with their limitations. In addition, we will present the best calibration methods for radio frequency power measuring instruments.
The management of any single site in a multiple-site, multiple-channel land mobile radio communications system can often be a complex task. When failures or degradation in performance are reported, it may be necessary to make multiple trips to fully diagnose or correct the issue. This can become a huge hassle, especially for remote sites with low accessibility. This application note presents the Bird Model 3141 Channel Power Monitor as a solution for addressing the complexity of land mobile radio system management.
This white paper provides an overview of trends in wearable technology, and discusses emerging applications with a focus on healthcare, industry, robotics, defense, and sport. Examples discuss the impact of wearables in users’ lives, and how they improve health, safety, convenience, and performance.
This application note focuses on test results that show AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation "S" series amplifiers, specifically model 50S1G4A, produce higher power and higher fidelity signals for testing WiMAX output devices...
LTE protocols for mobile data connections operate at various different frequency bands around the globe. This paper demonstrates how the finite arrays method (also known as Domain Green‘s Function or DGFM) may be used to model an LTE base station with three antennas operating at 1.8 GHz.
This application note discusses some of the challenges in the development of millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar systems, as well as antenna arrays for next-generation smart cars and trucks.
In the earliest stages of 5G, fixed wireless access (FWA) systems will be used to deliver gigabit internet speeds to homes, apartments, and businesses in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional cable/fiber installations. Like other technological advancements, FWA has its own design challenges and considerations. This article presents five considerations to keep in mind when designing FWA systems.
