RF and wireless used to be the province of a relatively few specialized practitioners, and RF circuit and system design were as much art as science. Some things have changed: RF (which broadly and ...

Abstract: Analog radio frequency (RF) systems are complex, involving unfamiliar terms, complicated regulations, and uncommon circuit operations. Additionally, the electronics often deal with a broad ...

These days we’re surrounded by high-speed electronics and it’s no small feat that they can all play nicely in near proximity to each other. We have RF emissions standards to thank, which ensure new ...

For Nautel’s head of customer service, John Wilton, the “aging out” of broadcast engineers is a rising concern. Why? The lack of RF knowledge could put Radio at risk in the coming years. That has led ...

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 ...

From 5G smartphones to IoT sensors, RF antennas are the backbone of modern wireless systems. Selecting, designing, and tuning them precisely ensures reliability, efficiency, and compliance. Here’s how ...

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 ...
