Evaluating S-parameters and other CW stimulus responses is essential for characterising rf amplifiers. An rf vector network analyser (VNA) plays a critical role for this purpose, and proper ...

This article presents the challenges in designing RF power amplifier efficiency. It briefly describes the use of different amplifiers and techniques to create an effective result. This article ...

The basic laws of thermodynamics ensure that no electronic device can achieve 100% efficiency– although switch-mode power supplies come close (approaching 98%). Unfortunately, anything that generates ...

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, ...

Guerrilla RF’s GRF5509 high-performance power amplifier paired with Impinj’s advanced RAIN RFID reader chips to enable increased read range and improved readability of RAIN RFID tags Guerrilla RF, Inc ...

Wireless communications products that depend on RF principles are everywhere these days, and the growth rate is astonishing. From cell phones and wireless PDAs to Wi-Fi-enabled laptops, Bluetooth ...
