There are many types of RF matrix switches with configurations that distribute RF signals in very different fashions. This app note describes the functionality of these types of switches, their advantages and disadvantage, and how to choose the best switch for each application.
Understanding the impact and nuances of I-V curves is a fundamental part of learning how to design GaN power amplifiers. Part 2 of the GaN design series introduces the basics of using nonlinear models to make the design process more accurate and efficient.
Full Duplex DOCSIS 3.0, FDX for short, is one approach CATV operators are using to increase the capacity of HFC networks to support next-generation data requirements. This article discusses this new technology, its biggest challenges, and how MSOs and RF suppliers are bringing it to life.
GaN power amplifier design requires some different approaches and thinking compared to LDMOS or GaAs. Learn how nonlinear simulation models, like those from Modelithics, can help speed up design processes by downloading Part 1 of a two-part introductory series.
In the earliest stages of 5G, fixed wireless access (FWA) systems will be used to deliver gigabit internet speeds to homes, apartments, and businesses in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional cable/fiber installations. Like other technological advancements, FWA has its own design challenges and considerations. This article presents five considerations to keep in mind when designing FWA systems.
