When choosing an RF instrument, it is easy to get lost in the many specifications that vendors use to characterize an instrument’s performance. Moreover, in a world where wireless technologies are ...

The critical component in all digital communications receivers is the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADC sampling rate, bandwidth, and noise tolerance establishes the specifications and ...

Many of you are familiar with the circuits and components developed by Bob Dobkin, CTO of Linear Technology Corp, and the late Jim Williams, Staff Scientist at LTC, along with others from LTC. Their ...

Abstract— Today’s on-chip Analog/Mixed-Signal and RF (A/RF) systems have reached a limit of size and complexity where transistor-level SPICE and FastSPICE simulation approaches cannot deliver a ...

The single-pole, single-throw (SPST) switch has been a necessity since the earliest days of electricity and with good reason: It has many simply described yet vital roles in circuits spanning DC up ...
