A new Radio On a Chip (ROC) has been developed to meet the needs of the emerging short range and low data rate wireless link market. The HRF-ROC093XC ROC has been introduced for wireless, digital data applications in a broad arena of industries. This radio operates in the 902...

In the world of portable electronics, antennas are problematic. They need to be small, light weight and possess the ability to perform well in a variety of conditions. It also helps if they can be neatly integrated into the product without protrusions that can be easily damaged or broken...

X2Y® technology is a new balanced component capable of high frequency performance across a broad frequency range. The component uses a standard ceramic capacitor with subtle, but important modifications to its structure. These structural changes create a circuit inside the capacitor that is capable of broadband electromagnetic interference (EMI)...

The term "one size fits all" has never applied to microwave test fixtures. They are instead almost always custom creations designed to serve a specific test application, and cannot easily be modified to meet other needs in the future. This has always presented a problem for cost-conscious designers. In...

A versatile new three-stage buffer amplifier has been introduced that is ideal for use as a receiver front end low noise amplifier, but, as a result of its dual bias configurations, it can also be used as a driver amplifier or LO buffer with good linearity and higher gain....
