Modeling Helps Understand ICs
Several reports in the February issue of Microwaves & RF explore various trends in higher integration in monolithic semiconductor circuits, how many different semiconductor processes are being used in the high-frequency industry, often for similar pu ...
Mixer Translates 500 To 8000 MHz
Model TBR0058LA3 is a wideband triple-balanced mixer from MITEQ with an RF and local oscillator (LO) frequency range of 500 to 8000 MHz and an intermediate-frequency (IF) range of 50 to 3000 MHz. Suited for both commercial and military applications, ...
Ceramic Duplexer Fits Base Stations
The model AM1880-1960D268 surface-mount monoblock ceramic duplexer from Anatech Electronics is a compact solution for separating the transmit and receive bands of wireless communications base station transceivers. It features less than 3.4 dB inserti ...
Low-Jitter Source Shrinks In Size
Oscillator specialist Valpey Fisher has announced the model VFXO302, a complementary-output crystal oscillator with LVPECL or LVDS output and available at frequencies from 25 to 270 MHz or 80 to 270 MHz, respectively. Designed for low-noise, low-jitt ...
Surface-Mount Crystal Saves Board Space
When just a crystal is needed, one of the smallest is the CX18 crystal from Statek Corp., at just 1.55 x 0.95 x 0.35 mm. The surface-mount crystal is available for frequencies of 30 MHz and higher, with samples of the 50-MHz device currently availabl ...
Signal Cancellation Improves DDS SFDR
Direct digital synthesizers (DDS) are commonly used for sinusoidal signal generation in RF communication systems and test equipment. An integral component of DDS is the digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Although a DAC is intended to per ...
Selecting Crystals For Stable Oscillators
Oscillators are critical components in RF and digital designs. Although oscillator circuitry may already be provided as part of an integrated circuit (IC), a product-design engineer may still be required to select the crystal resonator and external.. ...
Cluster Computers Speed EM Simulation
Electromagnetic (EM) simulation has become a powerful tool in modeling high-frequency and high-speed circuits and devices. As the software grows in sophistication, however, computer hardware strains to keep up, often requiring innovative combination ...
Design Finite Impulse Response Digital Filters
Digital filters have enabled much of modern communications and the measurements that support them. While most high-frequency design engineers may be familiar with the use of the MATLAB mathematical modeling tool from The MathWorks (Natick, MA) for. ...
Reviewing SDARS Antenna Requirements
Automotive satellite radios, specifically the Satellite Digital Audio Radio System (SDARS), place stringent requirements on the receiving antenna. SDARS employs a dual-transmitter broadcast format in which signals are sent from both satellite-based ...
