Clock Jitter is commonly used to describe the performance requirements of oscillators and PLLs when driving high performance components like FPGAs, Microprocessors, and PHYs. But the plethora of clock jitter types, measurement methodologies, and corresponding specifications is broad and often leads to confusion. It is important to use the jitter type that is most appropriate […]

Anokiwave, Inc., a company providing highly integrated core IC solutions for mmW and AESA markets, announced the worldwide release of the first in a family of X-band Silicon Radar Quad Core IC solutions for commercial radar and 5G communications markets. The AWS-0103 supports 4 radiating elements with dual beam Rx, single beam Tx, and includes […]
RF bandpass filter for intelligent transport systems complies to 3GPP
CTS Electronic Components, Inc. introduces a surface-mount RF bandpass filter for use in Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) including 802.11p for wireless access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) and Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DRSC). The CTS TCB001A bandpass filter supports 2W of average RF output power at the antenna and is a necessary component to ensure compliance […]
Clock jitter attenuator optimizes serial interface functionality in base station designs
Analog Devices introduced a high-performance clock jitter attenuator designed to support the JESD204B serial interface standard for connecting high-speed data converters and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) operating in base station designs. The JESD204B interface was specifically developed to address high-data rate system design needs, and the 3.2-GHz HMC7044 clock jitter attenuator contains functions that support […]

Crystal load capacitance – In the book, Experimental Methods in RF Design”, the authors state that “Our crystal had marked frequency of 7045 KHz. This was the specified frequency for operation with a 32-pF load capacitance.” If I had a 20MHz crystal, how will I know the exact value of its load capacitance? Read more […]

Miniature OCXO measures 9.7 x 7.5. mm
IQD’s latest Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO), the IQOV-71 series, is housed in 4-pad plastic package with a fibre glass base measuring only 9.7 x 7.5mm. Despite the ultra-small size, the new model offers very low frequency stabilities down to ±10ppb over an operating temperature range of -20 to 70 degrees C or ±20ppb over […]
Zero-drift precision op amp simplifies board design
Analog Devices has introduced the first in a new series of high-voltage, low-noise, zero-drift, precision operational amplifiers. The dual-channel ADA4522-2 op amp reduces reduce system noise, cost, board space, and development time by providing on-chip electro-magnetic interference (EMI) filtering and eliminating the need for calibration circuitry. The ADA4522-2 op amp operates within a supply voltage range […]
Video: supercomputing at the edge with serial RapidIO
The concept of Supercomputing at the Edge is driven from the desire to improve the management of Big Data. In Supercomputing at the Edge, we push some data center content to the edge of the access network, caching locally pertinent content closer to users and performing data analytics on streaming live data. It can be […]

Calibration of temperature sensors – I am working with two different temperature sensors. One of them is a themistor and the other is an RTD. I put them in the same place and the temperature that they both measured differed in 0.1 degrees C. However, when the temperature rises to 50 degrees then to 80 degrees, the […]
