Additive (Residual) Phase Noise Measurement of Amplifiers, Frequency Dividers and Frequency Multipliers

Phase noise is becoming generally recognized (and accepted) as a critical performance parameter in higher performing test, radar and communication systems. However, additive phase noise is not typically measured on amplifiers, frequency dividers or frequency multipliers due to the perceived difficulty of the measurement and the prohibitive cost of...

Applying the Slow-wave Effect in the Design of a Compact Antenna

A novel method to design a compact antenna has been proposed. The shorting and feeding positions are located on both sides of the designed antenna, respectively; therefore, it is called a planar double inverted L antenna (PDILA). According to measured ...
Recent developments in most consumer electronic products is toward miniaturization. The technology of integrated circuits is widely applied in the field of communication baseband modules and radio frequency modules to make communication products smaller in size. On the contrary, the technology of integrated circuits is difficult to use to...
