Empower RF Systems has announced the release of its latest C-UAS RF amplifier module, Model 1211, engineered for robust ...

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 ...

Typically, amateur radio operators use the minimum power needed to accomplish a contact. That’s just part of being a good spectrum citizen, and well-earned bragging rights go to those who make ...

This paper presents the design and performance of a key RF circuit necessary for the realization of a reconfigurable, integrated RF front-end: a tunable frequency, selectable bandwidth, on-chip, ...

In my article, “A major change in smartphone RF filters and front ends as 5G approaches,” I discussed smartphone filter architectures for the coming 5G standard with regards to LTE carrier aggregation ...

The ongoing challenge of multiband/multistandard RF solutions for smartphones requires the addition of more bands into the same or smaller physical space in the handset. In addition, performance must ...

As anyone who is a veteran of many RF projects will tell you, long component leads can be your undoing. Extra stray capacitances, inductances, and couplings can change the properties of your design to ...
