Switches, digital and analog attenuators, and limiters each have unique functions that require proper device selection. The design difficulty lies within the parametric translation from diode ...

QUINCY, ILL. — In May, equipment manufacturer GatesAir will launch a new training program intended to help “younger, IT-educated broadcast engineers” learn to operate and maintain “next-generation TV ...

In Part 3 of RF Fundamentals, we will focus on the challenges related to the need to generate and demodulate analog and digitally modulated signals in the RF signal chain. We’ll review CW signal ...

Designing a system for communication over RF is a dark art. It’s an obscure domain filled with photonmancy, wires going every which way, and imaginary numbers. RF is reserved entirely for wizards. The ...

In Part 2 of RF Fundamentals, we will continue our discussion of measurement challenges associated with the RF signal chain. We will discuss swept tuned and FFT receiver techniques and optimization of ...

Part 2 addresses coupling factor, signal propagation delay, maximum coupling, and vector analysis. Part 3 covers the derivation of parameters, including S parameters, and conclusions derived from this ...
