In reality, RF signals are “rectified” at the input of the amplifier by electrostatic discharge (ESD) diodes, input structures, and other non-linear elements contained within the amplifier. In a ...

We all know the familiar dialogue from the flight attendant: All electronic devices must be turned off now to prevent interference with the aircraft navigation system. After we have reached our ...

This article presents the challenges in designing RF power amplifier efficiency. It briefly describes the use of different amplifiers and techniques to create an effective result. This article ...

With so much attention on IBOC, it is appropriate to step back and review the basic principles of RF amplifiers. The radio transmitter is a collection of stages. Each stage modifies the signal in some ...

I have DIY PC setup, built in late 2010 (mostly with components from the Ars Guide--thanks continuum!) Base setup is Core i5-760 CPU on a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 motherboard, in an Antec P182 mid-tower ...

The photobombing of ground- and space-based telescopes by proliferating satellites in Low Earth Orbit has long vexed ...

Broadcasters encounter interference in two forms: that which someone may accuse the broadcaster of causing, and that which the broadcaster experiences. The most familiar type of the former is a ...

The CR8894SXF+ is an advanced controlled reception pattern antenna (CRPA) for anti-jamming. It is engineered to provide efficient interference protection and real-time situational awareness across ...
