With operating frequencies exceeding 300MHz, National’s line of monolithic and hybrid current feedback operational amplifiers have become an attractive option for the RF (and IF) design engineer.

Abstract: This tutorial presents an overview of RF and mm-wave power-amplifier (PA) designs in silicon, focusing on the design fundamentals. First, the tutorial introduces PA performance metrics and ...

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 ...

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 project presents the design and characterization of a high-power RF amplifier optimized for driving acousto-optic (AO) and electro-optic (EO) modulators used in ultracold atom experiments. The ...
