As the number of higher-throughput applications grows, so does the need for a wider bandwidth and network coverage in wireless systems. Given limited spectrum allocation, wireless communication ...

In this month’s column, we take a look at a short-distance two-way ranging system using a 5.8-GHz carrier to supply not only precise and accurate distance measurements but also complementary ...

One extremely important yet not widely known characteristic of today’s high-performance RF signal analyzers is their use of a range of intermediate frequency (IF) filter bandwidth settings. IF ...

Phase coherence, that is a stable phase relationship between signals, is essential when making measurements that require more than one RF output. While this was once primarily required when evaluating ...

Sunnyvale, Calif. – Maxim Integrated Products' MAX2009 and MAX2010 monolithic RF predistorter ICs provide AM-AM and AM-PM distortion correction by introducing adjustable gain and phase expansion into ...

Phase shifters have uses in both optics and radio communications. Wide bandwidths are required for applications such as radio astronomy (see the article on the CSIRO work in this week's RF Report), ...
