If you need an amplifier, [Hans Rosenberg] has some advice. Don’t design your own; grab cheap and tiny RF amplifier modules and put them on a PCB that fits your needs. These are the grandchildren of ...

Originally, operational amplifiers (op amps) were not thought of as candidates for RF design, but the advent of newer, faster devices has now made them an attractive option for some applications. The ...

With so much attention on IBOC, it is appropriate to step back and review the basic principles of RF amplifiers. The radio transmitter is a collection of stages. Each stage modifies the signal in some ...

What every RF design engineer needs these days is a good all-purpose IC RF amplifier. You don’t want to have to design basic circuits like this yourself. Yet the need is always there for a gain block ...

RF power amplifiers are going wide and high to meet wider frequency ranges and the need for more bandwidth. Many wireless electronic systems operate over wide frequency ranges and the need for more ...

A series of RF power amplifier modules from NXP provides top-side cooling to enable up to 30% thinner and lighter massive MIMO radios for 5G infrastructure. The A5M34TG140-TC, A5M35TG140-TC, and ...

Component distributor Richardson RFPD has prepared a couple of documents on the options available for designers of RF amplifiers. Rather than in-depth, they are a useful introduction to the different ...

CML Microcircuits has announced a range of high frequency, high bandwidth RFICS and MMICs aimed at RF and mmWave applications from 860MHz to 28GHz – all under a ‘SµRF’ brand. “The global demand for ...

Over the years, tutorials have appeared in EMC journals explaining how to estimate the power required from a power amplifier intended for use in an RF immunity test system. Little material, if any, ...

ETL Systems has launched of a range of RF power amplifiers for military use, the range is designed for electronic warfare applications such as broadband frequency jamming or EMC testing. The modules ...
