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 ...

The many technical factors that must be assessed in 5G antenna design, including their interactions. Further physical/environmental considerations for both the antenna and the entire system. In the ...

In the 1980s radio frequency (RF) engineers developed microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits that revolutionized the reliability and controllability of RF systems, while significantly ...

My first job on leaving college was maintaining military radios. I had covered RF theory, but found that the practice was significantly different. The company’s detailed design work was performed at a ...

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 ...

Next-generation RF to millimeter-wave silicon MMIC and module product development software Cadence is excited to announce the launch of its latest RF design and analysis platform, Virtuoso Studio RF.

The IoT has increased the demand for good radio frequency (RF) design practices from the mains, to wall outlet power, all the way to the antenna. With several IoT standards employed today, constraint ...
