Part 1 of a two part article. Click here for Part 2. Originally, operational amplifiers (op amps) were not thought of as candidates for RF design, but the advent of newer, faster devices has now made ...

As a result, RF amplifiers, especially RF power amplifiers, cannot use conventional feedback at the 1-GHz and higher frequencies at which they operate. Just as daunting, the open-loop nature of most ...

In most RF amplifiers, the gain will vary somewhat over a wide frequency range. Look for an amplifier with gain flatness over segments over a ±100-MHz range that’s as low as possible, less than ...

The TA1165 is a Class AB gallium nitride (GaN)-based amplifier delivering up to 20 W of RF output power across the 5.5 GHz to ...

RF amplifier basics Jul 1, 2003 12:00 PM, By John Battison, P.E., technical editor, ... In a tube design, this is achieved by supplying sufficient negative bias voltage to the control grid to ensure ...

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.

If you need an amplifier, [Hans Rosenberg] has some advice. Don’t design your own; grab cheap and tiny RF amplifier modules and put them on a PCB that fits your needs. These are the grandchil… ...
