Q: Another topic is “Design-for-Testability for RF Circuits and Systems”—is this driven by new DFT capabilities in the RF realm? A: Yes, but it’s driven also by new needs. With wireless business ...

For thorough product testing and high test throughput, test engineers need to understand the basics of RF technology, what to test for, and which instruments are best suited for the job.

Here’s our simple guide to rocking RF PCB designs. There’s also a lot of devil in that detail, for example when understanding edge-launch SMA connectors. ( Updated to add part 4.

A RF probe is a circuit for testing equipment that converts a high frequency signal into a DC voltage. In this way it is very easy to measure RF voltages for either testing or adjustments of ...

Both the performance and reliability of RF designs are closely linked to the layout implementation. Once the physical layout of a RF design is complete, and circuit implementation is validated with ...

Active inductors have emerged as a transformative component in CMOS radio frequency (RF) circuit design, effectively replacing traditional passive inductors with active semiconductor networks.

Cadence has added the "turbo" technology it recently brought to the Virtuoso® Spectre® Circuit Simulator to its RF analysis. The result is performance improvements of two to five times -- sometimes ...

CMOS mixers are integral components in modern radio frequency (RF) circuit design, enabling frequency conversion in wireless systems while prioritising low power consumption.

A new single-chip Bluetooth LSI, designated the TC35654, integrates both RF and baseband circuits The chip employs a 0.18 µm CMOS process technology for the RF circuit instead ...
