As the wireless industry moves to implementation of 3G standards, wireless service providers are looking for ways to make the transition with the most rapid time-to-market and minimized design cost of new equipment. The TXC Series transmitting converters are designed for this environment, and allow base transceiver station (BTS)...

Modern digital communications, instrumentation, electronic warfare and radar systems require high frequency and/or broadband synthesizers that are stable in frequency and exhibit low phase noise at frequencies up to 50 GHz. Prescalers are typically used in phase-locked loop circuits for these synthesizer applications. A prescaler converts the RF input...

Accurately measuring the power in wideband signals used in 3G and pulsed systems requires a power meter with a high bandwidth. To address this market condition, the ML2487A (single-channel) and ML2488A (dual-channel) high speed peak power meters have been developed that feature 20 MHz channel bandwidth, which is a...

Splitting an RF input signal within a VCR or television was never much of a design challenge for manufacturers when the signal was analog. That changed dramatically, however, when CATV systems made the transition from analog to digital to provide addressability, video on demand, Internet access and other services....

Philadelphia was a good and gracious host for Microwave Week as weather-weary visitors enjoyed somewhat milder spring-like weather for the 2003 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium held June 8 to 13. The overall turnout was good with over 10,000 delegates, visitors and exhibitors attending the annual event. The city...

The rising demand for low cost, low power personal communication systems operating up to 6 GHz makes the integration of radio frequency subsystems on monolithic silicon substrates an attractive challenge. Deep sub-micron technology allows silicon CMOS or silicon-germanium (SiGe) integrated circuits (IC) to operate at frequencies well within the...
