Passive Components Punch Through Walls (.PDF Download)

May 25, 2016

High-frequency passive components may lack the glamour of their active counterparts, but they play crucial roles when trying to meet system performance requirements. Such components, which include power dividers/combiners, directional couplers, hybrid couplers, and more, are needed to enable critical functionality for numerous applications. A distributed antenna system (DAS), for instance, relies heavily on high-performance passive components...
