The data converter has acted as the bridge between the analog (real) world and the digital world for a few decades now. Starting with discrete elements that took up multiple rack spaces and burnt lots ...

The critical component in all digital communications receivers is the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADC sampling rate, bandwidth, and noise tolerance establishes the specifications and ...

How to use DC-coupling for RF sampling ADCs. How to improve system linearity. Higher data rates in wireless communication systems and the use of narrower pulses in radars to resolve close targets ...

Analog front-ends (AFEs), also known as radio frequency front ends (RFFEs), are components that use smart partitioning architectures by integrating high-speed amplifiers, receive analog-to-digital ...

More Realistic RF Modeling The addition of the Passive Circuit Loads feature in the new version of Nullspace EM empowers engineers to simulate a wider variety of realistic, large-scale phased arrays, ...

Keysight has combined it Electromagnetic Simulator with Synopsys’ AI-powered RF design migration flow for an integrated design flow to migrate from TSMC’s N6RF+ to N4P process technology. The ...

Next-generation RF to millimeter-wave silicon MMIC and module product development software Cadence is excited to announce the launch of its latest RF design and analysis platform, Virtuoso Studio RF.

Designing highly integrated components for radio frequency applications poses special challenges for system engineers, designers and the commissioning engineers. The boundary between chip, package and ...

Modern SDRs evolve from configurable platforms into intelligent wideband sensing systems combining high dynamic range, ...

The IoT has increased the demand for good radio frequency (RF) design practices from the mains, to wall outlet power, all the way to the antenna. With several IoT standards employed today, constraint ...

This paper presents the design and performance of a key RF circuit necessary for the realization of a reconfigurable, integrated RF front-end: a tunable frequency, selectable bandwidth, on-chip, ...
