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 ...

RF design is the design of a circuit that can transmit electromagnetic signals. RF stands for radio frequency, because in their infancy, RF circuits could emit radio signals only in the AM and FM ...

• Smart cascade analyzer: Dynamically computes cascaded gain, noise figure, third-order intercept point (IP3) and sensitivity, with real-time updates that continuously optimize datalink performance. • ...

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 ...
