Some high-end audio designers see themselves as artists. They might invest years of their life into perfecting an audio circuit or devising a turntable that’s immune to disturbance from external ...

The low-noise, high-gain properties needed for high-performance quantum computing can be realized in a microwave photonic circuit device called a Josephson traveling-wave parametric amplifier (JTWPA), ...

If you ever wanted to build your own tube amplifier but you were intimidated by working with high voltages, [Marcel]’s low-voltage tube amp design might spark your interest. The design operates with a ...

This application note presents the ISL73096RH/ISL73127RH/ISL73128RH transistor arrays and focuses on designing RF amplifiers employing these featured transistor ...

Accurately measuring current flow is a standard requirement in several applications (Fig. 1). Depending on the specific need, the options available to designers can include discrete designs assembled ...

It is essential to use a combination of specialized and general CAD tools in RF and microwave solid-state power amplifier design. June 17th, 2020 - By: Wolfspeed, a Cree Company In the world of RF and ...

Zero-drift amplifiers dynamically correct their offset voltage and reshape noise density. Two commonly used types—auto-zero amplifiers and choppers—achieve nanovolt-level offsets and extremely low ...

Originally, operational amplifiers (op amps) were not thought of as candidates for RF design, but the advent of newer, faster devices has now made them an attractive option for some applications. The ...

Low noise amplifiers (LNAs) are critical components in the receiver front end of wireless systems, tasked with boosting weak signals while introducing minimal additional noise. Advances in ...

Everyone has a chip-of-shame: it’s the part that you know is suboptimal but you keep using it anyway because it just works well enough. Maybe it’s not what you would put into a design that you’re ...

The Emotiva XPA-2 is a two-channel amplifier is one of the most powerful, highest value amplifiers we've reviewed to date. It is a lone wolf in a pasture of sheepish amplifiers. Power output: 250 ...
