Editor’s note: This month’s RF/MW boards, components and systems issue considers all off-chip (non-MMIC/RFIC) circuit design. Since this type of design involves discrete component integration and component interconnect and matching circuit design, meas...
The automated load pull was introduced by Maury Microwave Corp. based on an automated slide-screw tuner in 1987. At least 20 years earlier, manual mechanical tuners of various forms were used to match transistor impedances when characterizing and designing amplifiers. Today, the importance of properly matching a transistor module...
