This article investigates the challenges and system benefits of applying the ultralow noise switching regulator in noise-sensitive RF systems, compared to a traditional buck + LDO regulator solution. The investigation is based on two representative case studies of RF applications: a high performance phase-locked loop (PLL) clock and an advanced high speed ADC system.

The ADRF6780S is a wideband RF up-converter, qualified for high-reliability aerospace applications and sold in a compact plastic package. 

This article focuses on the challenges of driving multioctave RF sampling ADCs. It covers the issues related to second-order and third-order intermodulation, the trade-offs of single-ended and differential drive, and the features and performance of RF driver amps that make them ideal choices for use as ADC drivers.

ADI expands its IMU portfolio with the ADIS1657x IMU family. This small but powerful product offers tactical grade stability and vibration rejection in a rugged 22.4x24.5x14mm package.

The ADPA1116 is a 0.3 GHz to 6 GHz power amplifier with a saturated output power (POUT) of 39.5 dBm and power added efficiency (PAE) of 40%.

The ADIS16545/7 is a 6 DoF IMU that leverages ADI's new gyroscope technology, industry leading ultra-low-noise accelerometers, and factory temperature calibration.

This article will focus on GaN PA pulse droop as a nonideality of real-world radar performance and will discuss what can be done to mitigate its negative impact on radar range. With advanced solid-state electronics inserted at the output stages for many radar RF chains, system engineers can set specifications to achieve improved range, resolution, and sensing capabilities.

The ADL8100 provides 20dB typical gain, low noise figure of 2.5dB, and high linearity of 38dBm OIP3.

Analog Devices, Inc. announced Apollo MxFE, its most advanced software-defined, direct RF-sampling, wideband mixed signal front-end platform.
