RF Design Tips, Tricks & Tutorials

The Design of E-band MMIC Amplifiers, which addressed the fact that the worldwide availability of a large amount of spectrum at 71 to 76 GHz and 81 to 86 GHz (E-band) for high data-rate wireless links has led to substantial interest. The design of electronic equipment at such high frequencies is challenging. Devlin’s presentation addressed [...]

A tunable matching network (MN) integrated into the interstage of a two-stage power amplifier (PA) to provide the capability for center frequency tuning is described. The tunable and second amplifier stages. This enables the amplifier to reach a high Q-factor, thus resulting in a narrow bandwidth. The M-probe method is used to analyze the amount [...]
