In the past digital systems were 5V and analog ones +/-15V or +/-12V. Nowadays analog systems are more likely to be single supply 5V, 3.3V or lower and digital circuitry is likely to be 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.2V or something in between. You might also have LVDS, DDR or other differential or single ended standards […]

Doherty PA reference design for small cell wireless
The CDPA35045 asymmetric Doherty PA reference design for the 3.5 to 3.7 GHz band provides increased wireless system capacity for both licensed wireless carrier services and unlicensed public use, such as Wi-Fi. Providing 10 W average output power and predistortion correctability, Doherty PA design uses 30-W CGHV27030S and 15-W CGHV27015S GaN HEMT devices, which can […]
Microwave RF assembly calculator
W. L. Gore & Associates has introduced an online tool designed to complement the existing GORETM Microwave/RF Assembly Builder. The new GORETM Microwave/RF Assembly Calculator is used to calculate insertion loss, VSWR and other parameters of GORE® Microwave/RF Assemblies for different cable types. The Calculator is particularly useful when the initial cable type is unknown […]
Design of a VHF Class-A Amplifier for Optimum Power Output
By “Languer“, member on Electro-Tech-Online This article presents the design of VHF Class-A transistor amplifier intended to provide as much linear output power as possible. It demonstrates basic design techniques to yield optimum output power from a BFR92A bipolar transistor. I based the selection of the transistor upon the following conditions: (1) availability of SPICE model, and (2) […]
