When I was in college, most of my RF design courses focused on maximizing signal to noise ratio—that is, they either dealt with methods of improving signal power (optimum power match) or decreasing ...

The most critical circuits in any radio design are the mixers and IQ modulators/demodulators as they establish the basic specifications for the entire product. Linear Technology's LT5557 ...

Current sensing devices are often desired in the power supply lines of various circuits, such as battery-powered computers, battery chargers or critical circuits requiring thermal forecasting. Figure ...

The proposed CORDIC-less digital polar transmitter demonstrates superior power added efficiency (PAE) and system efficiency (SE) for similar modulation signals. It also supports wider bandwidths, ...

The world we live in is intricately connected by electronic systems that are expected to function flawlessly to satisfy consumer needs. Functionality violations beyond certain tolerance levels are ...

Designers often use mathematical models to predict how mechanical and electrical systems will behave. The details expressed by these models, like significant Designers often use mathematical models to ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...
