Direct Microwave Conversion Capabilities Now Made Possible Deep Into the Ka-Band

Analog to digital converters (ADCs) are the critical downlink bridge between the electromagnetic world and that of advanced digital signal processing. Extending sampling frequencies and bandwidth capabilities of these system critical components into the higher microwave frequencies opens a myriad of opportunities for future communication engineers to advance the state-of-theart and to deliver greater flexibility in spectral usage.

RCS and Scattering Simulation for Radar Systems

Simulation and analysis of radar signal scattering and radar cross section (RCS) are important and increasingly popular tools for a growing list of applications involving radar sensing. RCS is an important consideration not only in the design of radar systems, but also in the design of objects that must be optimized to evade or invite radar detection.

When to Use S-parameters for High-frequency Circuit Simulations

Understanding the meaning of S-parameters, how they are measured, and their limitations can lead to more meaningful simulations of RF- and microwave-frequency inductors, chokes, wideband RF transformers, and high-speed common mode chokes. This document describes how S-parameters are generated and how to best apply them to your simulations.

Conducted Emissions in DC/DC Converters - Simulation Versus Measurement

Simulation can be a big time-saver when designing EMI filters for DC/DC converters. Power supply control chip vendors offer various filter design tools that provide reasonable design choices for filter simulation before any hardware prototype is available. However, simulated results can differ significantly for different tools if simulated models are not accurate or do not cover all the relevant components.

The Importance of Low Phase Noise and How to Measure It

Phase noise is caused by an RF waveform’s unintentional phase modulation, degrading the overall fidelity of a signal. In this white paper, learn phase noise fundamentals, how phase noise impacts the performance of radar and digital communications systems, and the limitations and advantages of two different phase noise measurement methods.
