Q: Another topic is “Design-for-Testability for RF Circuits and Systems”—is this driven by new DFT capabilities in the RF realm? A: Yes, but it’s driven also by new needs. With wireless business ...

The most effective circuits have high input impedance and low output impedance. With RF applications where a cable length can be a quarter wavelength, signals must be treated as waves. Any time a wave ...

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 ...

Both the performance and reliability of RF designs are closely linked to the layout implementation. Once the physical layout of a RF design is complete, and circuit implementation is validated with ...

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 ...

Most reverse engineering projects we see around here have some sort of practical endpoint in mind. Usually, but not always. Reverse-engineering a 40-year-old cable modem probably serves no practica… ...
