The system in Figure 2 uses the ADF4372 PLL (see Figure 5), a wideband synthesizer with integrated VCO, that allows the implementation of fractional-N or integer-N frequency synthesizers when used ...

RF signals historically are measured using spectrum analyzers, at least that was before oscilloscopes offered sufficient bandwidth for those measurements. With oscilloscope bandwidths over 100 GHz, RF ...

As the number of higher-throughput applications grows, so does the need for wider bandwidth and network coverage in wireless systems. Given limited spectrum allocation, wireless communication ...

Every wireless signal chain design begins with signal chain choices. Once a systems engineer has decided on a signal chain architecture (e.g., superheterodyne, zero IF, IF sampling, etc.), components ...

IFEN GmbH has released a new version of its NCS Nova RF signal simulator, offering a full package of advanced simulation capabilities. With its now-integrated interference generation capability (AWGN, ...

The author is a broadcast contract engineer who has a unique way of measuring the carrier frequency of the AM stations in his care. Making off-air frequency measurements of AM broadcast stations can ...

With the introduction of RF-X Auto Switcher, Teradek, a global leader in advanced video transmission technology, ...

Modern radio frequency (RF) components introduce many challenges to outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) suppliers whose objective is to ensure products are assembled and tested to meet ...

Switcher, an intelligent device that monitors up to six Bolt or Ranger receivers and delivers a single, uninterrupted 12G-SDI video feed with zero delay for live broadcast and congested RF ...
