A tough challenge for test engineers is explored in terms of test methods, pitfalls, and measurement errors. For the test engineer, RF and microwave power amplifier testing imposes unique challenges.

In a world of tight timelines and ever-increasing performance requirements, it’s critical to create circuit designs right the first time; thus, engineers in the analog and mixed-signal industry often ...

Zero-drift operational amplifiers have proven to be valuable problem solvers due to their low input offset voltage and minimal input offset voltage drift. Rail-to-rail input versions of these ...

The FFT from the amplifier output is nice and clean with 2 nd harmonic down -109dB below the fundamental when driven with 2Vrms on the analog inputs. Curious when the same test was repeated with a ...

A new high-power RF amplifier for EMC applications is a self-contained, air-cooled, solid-state amplifier with a modular design created for easy upgrades. The Model 3000W1000 targets applications in ...

MAAM-011238 is well suited for 5G Test and Measurement instrumentation scaling to millimeterwave (mmW) frequencies Positive gate bias eliminates the need for a negative voltage MACOM’s new wideband ...
