With so much attention on IBOC, it is appropriate to step back and review the basic principles of RF amplifiers. The radio transmitter is a collection of stages. Each stage modifies the signal in some ...

This article presents the challenges in designing RF power amplifier efficiency. It briefly describes the use of different amplifiers and techniques to create an effective result. This article ...

Over the years, tutorials have appeared in EMC journals explaining how to estimate the power required from a power amplifier intended for use in an RF immunity test system. Little material, if any, ...

Typically, amateur radio operators use the minimum power needed to accomplish a contact. That’s just part of being a good spectrum citizen, and well-earned bragging rights go to those who make ...

What every RF design engineer needs these days is a good all-purpose IC RF amplifier. You don’t want to have to design basic circuits like this yourself. Yet the need is always there for a gain block ...

The RF power amplifier stage is usually the final active block of any electronic system that is transmitting RF power. Relatively low power RF signals are amplified to produce a more powerful signal ...
