One extremely important yet not widely known characteristic of today’s high-performance RF signal analyzers is their use of a range of intermediate frequency (IF) filter bandwidth settings. IF ...
Modern electronic warfare demands wideband RF systems that balance gain, linearity, efficiency, and power—enabling real-time ...
What are S-parameters? The multiple types of S-parameters beyond the small-signal variety. Using S-parameters, we can represent even the most complex RF device as a simple N-port network. Figure 1 ...
RF signals historically are measured using spectrum analyzers, at least that was before oscilloscopes offered sufficient bandwidth for those measurements. With oscilloscope bandwidths over 100 GHz, RF ...
In reality, RF signals are “rectified” at the input of the amplifier by electrostatic discharge (ESD) diodes, input structures, and other non-linear elements contained within the amplifier. In a ...
