The 2006 International Test Conference is scheduled for the week of October 22 in Santa Clara, CA. For more on this year’s ITC, read our interview with program chair Anne Gattiker. Semiconductor test ...

Wireless communications products that depend on RF principles are everywhere these days, and the growth rate is astonishing. From cell phones and wireless PDAs to Wi-Fi-enabled laptops, Bluetooth ...

A RF probe is a circuit for testing equipment that converts a high frequency signal into a DC voltage. In this way it is very easy to measure RF voltages for either testing or adjustments of ...

[Hans Rosenberg] knows a thing or two about RF PCB design and has provided a three-part four-part video demonstration of some solid rules of thumb. We will cover the first part here and leave the ...

Active inductors have emerged as a transformative component in CMOS radio frequency (RF) circuit design, effectively replacing traditional passive inductors with active semiconductor networks. By ...

Front-end limiter circuits using Schottky and PIN diodes can provide needed protection in communications and other RF systems. However, designers still must deal with the upper-frequency limit problem ...
