When I was in college, most of my RF design courses focused on maximizing signal to noise ratio—that is, they either dealt with methods of improving signal power (optimum power match) or decreasing ...

SN is usually slower than HB for linear or moderately non-linear circuits. How does RF Harmonic Balance work? HB is a frequency-domain analysis technique for simulating distortion in nonlinear ...

Superposition One of the most powerful tools when modeling electrical circuits is superposition. The principle, which applies to any linear system consisting of multiple energy sources, allows the ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...

Comments Dieter Liesabeths, SemiSouth’s Director of Sales: “These parts are especially suitable for high end audio amplifier designs which demand the best linearity performance and lowest ...

The proposed CORDIC-less digital polar transmitter demonstrates superior power added efficiency (PAE) and system efficiency (SE) for similar modulation signals. It also supports wider bandwidths, ...
