RF PA Selection Guide: Balancing GaN/LDMOS Technologies and Doherty Technology
Starting your RF amplifier design directly in simulation software1? This common mistake leads to frustrating dead ends and wasted time when your topology fails under real-world conditions. The best process starts by defining detailed specifications based on the application. Then, you select the right transistor and topology. This is followed by simulation, layout, fabrication, and […]
RF Sensitivity Testing: Taming Signal Source Flatness and Power Droop
Your RF sensitivity test1s are failing, and you don’t know why. This hidden issue in your signal source2 might be the culprit, costing you valuable time and resources. A poor frequency response3 in a signal source causes its output power to vary across different frequencies. This inconsistency, known as poor flatness4, leads to inaccurate sensitivity […]
