In this White Paper you will learn about RF filter materials, configurations and packaging, as well as filter design, material selection, SWaP-C, and customization.

DoD software teams have increasingly migrated to Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps) and this approach works very well when software is deployed on standard devices. When the hardware platform is custom and developmental, however, DevSecOps teams tend to need help. Learn how Benchmark bridges this gap by deploying tools and processes that enable the hardware to evolve throughout the program.

Skyworks’ Si5360/61/62/63 fifth-generation jitter attenuator/clock multiplier devices harness advanced DSPLL® and MultiSynth technologies to deliver exceptional jitter performance that meets 100G and 200G SerDes clock requirements. With its exceptional performance, ease of use, comprehensive testability, and unmatched flexibility, the Si5360/61/62/63 family provides a compelling clocking solution for SOC vendors and data center customers demanding high-performance clocks.

Plasma trails created by hypersonic vehicles passing through the atmosphere create challenges for radar detection and radio communication through the plasma layer. This paper discusses the FDTD method to simulate the behavior of plasma materials using Remcom’s XFdtd 3D EM Simulation solver and presents validation in one and three dimensions.

Every RF/Microwave system level design engineer searches for the “silver bullet” component solution that will be the key enabler for ALL performance specification requirements. A “silver bullet” can be defined as the single perfect solution to many complicated problems. For today’s RF/Microwave receiver system design engineers, Teledyne e2v’s EV10AS940 10 Bit, 12.8 GSPS ADC (with internal DDC) is the ultimate “silver bullet.”

One challenge facing test engineers charged to evaluating today’s complicated wireless networks & devices is the sheer number of potential RF connections requiring scrutiny. Readers will learn how RF switch matrices can extend the port count of VNAs to meet the testing demands of modern wireless standards & sensing technologies.

A common RF SOI switch phenomenon is low frequency power de-rating. This phenomenon is due to the gate resistance and gate capacitance; and can be extended by tuning one or both of those values. The trade-offs involved in tuning the low frequency power de-rating will be discussed in this paper.

This application note explains Vector Network Analyzers and S-parameter measurements using time domain in the software. This paper contrasts frequency and time domain analyses, including Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) for time domain representation. The text discusses applications such as impulse response, Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR), and Time Domain Gating for improved measurement accuracy.

Demonstrating the scale manufacturing capabilities of Fortify’s RF manufacturing platform, this white paper explores the performance repeatability of 62 mm (2.44”)diameter Luneburg lenses produced by Fortify in a production environment. Boresight gain measurement of the lenses demonstrated a standard deviation of 0.06 dB across the manufacturing batch.
