The many technical factors that must be assessed in 5G antenna design, including their interactions. Further physical/environmental considerations for both the antenna and the entire system. In the ...

The tasks performed by filters in various RF architectures. Differentiating factors between those architectures. Current trends in filter performance considerations. At any given time, a multitude of ...

SWKS is a top producer of semiconductors for wireless devices with a focus on RF component design, manufacturing, and packaging. SWKS's clients mainly consist of major smartphone manufacturers, with ...

I needed to come up with a communications device to transmit a handful of bytes, every hour, from a small off-grid solar system to my shop about 150 feet away. The first thought was Wi-Fi, but I ...

The system in Figure 2 uses the ADF4372 PLL (see Figure 5), a wideband synthesizer with integrated VCO, that allows the implementation of fractional-N or integer-N frequency synthesizers when used ...

RF design is the design of a circuit that can transmit electromagnetic signals. RF stands for radio frequency, because in their infancy, RF circuits could emit radio signals only in the AM and FM ...

There are no standards in this area, but here are some general thoughts that condense known industry practice and have worked reliably in our transmitter and antenna systems for years. Actual ...

This month I’ll focus on what I saw on the exhibit floor at NAB Show. This isn’t a comprehensive overview of all the RF and transmission exhibits and show news—other articles in TV Tech do that well.
