Several years ago, my team was given an assignment to measure RF radiation from Low Power CMOS ICs. In this article, I’ll describe the setup we designed and some of the problems we overcame to measure ...

The output power of an RF or microwave system is a key determinant of its performance. For this reason, signal power is measured at every stage of a system’s lifecycle from the design and prototyping ...

RF power sensor linearity is a commonly misunderstood topic. To obtain the most accurate power measurements, though, you need to understand what linearity is, the sources of nonlinearity, and how to ...

The output power of an RF or microwave system is a key determinant of its performance. For this reason, signal power is measured at every stage of a system’s lifecycle from the design and prototyping ...

Co-sponsored by Analog Devices and Richardson RFPD. This webcast will provide a step-by-step approach to designing RF power and return loss measurement systems. The webcast will focus on a number of ...

This article originally appeared in TV Technology. RF simulation software can provide a graphic display of RF fields; however, measuring them usually involves large anechoic chambers and structures on ...

The FCC’s new RF Anechoic Measurement Chamber in Columbia, Md., is open for business. The facility cost about three-quarters of a million dollars. It gives the technical staff the ability to conduct ...

RF-to-baseband front ends consisting of a low-noise amplifier (LNA) cascaded with a mixer downconverting RF signals to baseband have become the epitome of RF devices tested in high-volume ...
