Power amplifiers (PA) are a critical functional block in today's wireless communications. They are found in every cell phone, cordless phone, RF remote controller, etc. Any application requiring the wireless transmission of analog or digital signals will require a PA. In wireless equipment, the PAs are usually placed as...

This article presents the performance of a Ka-band bandpass filter (BPF) using a coplanar waveguide (CPW) topology on an Al 2 O 3 substrate. A copper (Cu) metallization was also used in this investigation to improve the characteristics of the filter. The measured results of the BPF, with a...

This paper presents a new compact and comprehensive design methodology for RF CMOS source degenerated cascode dual functionality low noise amplifier (LNA) and power amplifier (PA) for the IEEE 802.15.4 standard (commercially known as ZigBee). Due to the need to meet the far apart performance requirements of both the...

The R&S ZVA24 network analyzer and the new R&S ZVAX24 extension unit combine to form a solution that adapts to user requirements. This combination facilitates faster and easier measurements on active components because it does not require any additional equipment or rewiring. Depending on the application, the extension unit...

Wireless communications has revolutionized the way our society functions. It is a key element of modern life and its reach is extending far and wide, with new applications constantly coming to the fore. To address the increasing demand to connect the various types of devices and networks, HUBER+SUHNER has...

RF/Microwave Products Anatech Electronics announced it has launched three new websites that allow RF and microwave designers to more easily select from its families of RF and microwave filters and other components, and to order many products online. Anatech Microwave (AMC) ( www.anatechmicrowave.com ) covers the company's standard products....

GaAs HEMT LNA Die The HMC-ALH508 is a three-stage GaAs HEMT MMIC low noise amplifier (LNA) chip that operates between 71 and 86 GHz, replacing the HMC-ALH459. The HMC-ALH508 features 13 dB of small-signal gain, 4.5 dB of noise figure and an output power of +7 dBm at 1...
