Automated test systems are cornerstone to high frequency testing for 5G, next generation Wi-Fi, satellite communications systems. Programmable RF devices form the building blocks to these systems. This tech brief dives into specific considerations around the buildout of programmable RF test systems.

The ideal preparation for passing first time EMI compliance tests is the right equipment. Get an overview with the poster about our high-qualitiy test equipment and choose the right set up for every EMI standard. Be prepaired for your next test.

This whitepaper will educate readers on how ceramics are used in RF applications, a primer on 3D printed technical ceramic fabrication processes, selective metallization and how it pertains to 3D printed ceramics. Additionally, includes application examples of how 3D printed technical ceramics can benefit RF manufacturing.

What happens when you combine a high bandwidth RF connector with an optimized PCB launch and solder them together? Unfortunately, the result can be unpredictable. This white paper will identify the root causes of variations often associated with solder joints, and explore ways to better predict solder reflow.

This article details performance measurements vs. predictions of a 16-channel S-band direct sampling receiver design. The design is based on recently released direct sampling analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) clocked at 4 GSPS and sampling in the second Nyquist zone of the converter.

Mini-Circuits’ BFHK-series of ultra-high stopband rejection LTCC filters accelerates the drive towards RF/microwave circuit miniaturization while completely redefining performance levels achievable by LTCC filters. The BFHK-series of filters now achieves stopband rejections in excess of 90 dB in a surface mount LTCC component consuming just a fraction of the footprint area of even high-k dielectric based planar solutions.

This white paper offers an overview of the fundamentals of THz waves and their properties for various applications with a focus on 6G based communications.

GaN provides higher power density efficiency than traditional silicon in applications requiring high-frequency operation. GaN RF HEMTs are finding applications across all RF market segments rather than just cellular base stations and military radars. In order to maximize these benefits, designers must understand the thermal environment and its limitations.

This article details performance measurements vs. predictions of a 16-channel S-band direct sampling receiver design. The design is based on recently released direct sampling analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) clocked at 4 GSPS and sampling in the second Nyquist zone of the converter.

The global transition to 5G is in full swing. Although 5G has primarily been used for smartphones and FWA applications, its potential applications are much broader. 5G will expand in scope to cover many more applications and device types. 5G Redcap will be a key step in this evolution.
