All Hail the Zener Diode Noise Source
by Fairview Microwave Noise is the enemy of all receivers, obliterating the desired signals and rendering attempts to eliminate it problematic, but for more than 70 years, it has also […]
Getting Rough with VNA Test Cables
by Fairview Microwave Introduction The wireless revolution is now in full swing, where innovators and even slow-to-move businesses are making the leap toward wirelessly connecting systems that have traditionally been […]
The Demands of 5G Drive RF Power Amplifier Enhancement
by Fairview Microwave RF power amplifier designers arguably have some of the most vexing challenges, many of which have been made even more difficult since wireless networks transitioned from analog […]
How GaN Transistors Relieve Some of the PA Design Burden in Systems with Non-Constant Envelope Signals
by Fairview Microwave Modern communications systems rely on non-constant envelope techniques with increasingly complex waveforms. This introduces a plethora of design challenges and is particularly burdensome on the power amplifier […]
Meeting the Challenges of Keeping PIM in Check
by Fairview Microwave Passive Intermodulation Distortion (PIM) has been a thorn in the side of RF and microwave designers for decades, and no system is immune, from cellular, land mobile, […]
