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 ...

Abstract: A linearity–nonlinearity-separation (LNS) finite-difference time domain (FDTD) full-wave method is suggested for the weak nonlinearity analysis of the passive microstrip circuits, which is ...

Abstract: This article presents two types of postdistortion (PD) circuits—diode-connected PD (DCPD) and cascode PD (CPD)—positioned subsequent to low noise amplifiers (LNAs) operating in the 2.2–5-GHz ...

All the circuits that we have analyzed are linear circuits and we must be more specific in defining a linear circuit. We can consider the most important consequence of linearity, the principle of ...

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 ...

Designers often use mathematical models to predict how mechanical and electrical systems will behave. The details expressed by these models, like significant digits in an equation, go only as deep as ...
