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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The RF power amplifier stage is usually the final active block of any electronic system that is transmitting RF power. Relatively low power RF signals are amplified to produce a more powerful signal ...

San Jose, Calif. — Touted as the industry's smallest RF amplifier, Avago Technologies has unveiled its VMMK-2×03 amplifiers in a chip-scale package with 0402 package dimensions (1 x 0.5 x .25 mm).

Altum RF has announced three GaAs pHEMT MMIC amplifiers for Q, V, and E-bands, using Win Semiconductors’ PP10-20 GaAs technology which is intended for use up to 170GHz and, compared with its earlier ...

NXP has announced a family of top-side-cooled RF amplifiers, intended to shrink and lighten radios for 5G infrastructure – the company is claiming a reduction basestation thickness and weight of over ...
