Exploring advances in microwave and millimeter wave devices
Jan 1, 2005
By Ashok Bindra, editorial director and Keith Vick, technical contributing editor As this report explores up-to-date improvements in RF and microwave power
transistors for power amplifiers, it sheds new light on gallium nitride (GaN)-based
power transistors. In addition, the report focuses on the latest advances in
passive components, and unveils trends in millimeter wave monolithic ICs
(MIMICs)....
Specifying a quartz crystal for a VCXO
Aug 1, 2004
By Ramon M. Cerda A popular application for the voltage-controlled crystal oscillator is the forming
of a phase-locked loop. Designing the VCXO for this application requires a
‘pullable’ quartz crystal....
Combline filter design simplified
Jan 1, 2004
By Anurag Bhargava The range of filters that can be used in 200 MHz to 1 GHz band is limited, and this range becomes even narrower if a sharp rejection profile is needed....
