Every wireless signal chain design begins with signal chain choices. Once a systems engineer has decided on a signal chain architecture (e.g., superheterodyne, zero IF, IF sampling, etc.), components ...
There are two key measurements in determining power amplifier quality, efficiency, and linearity: the third-order intercept (abbreviated TOI or IP3) point and the 1-dB compression (P1dB) point ...
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 ...
