ABSTRACT: The development and deployment of 5G technology is changing the way wireless carriers and internet service providers think about meeting the ever increasing demands for higher data rates and…
ABSTRACT: This article presents a set of measured benchmarks for the noise and gain performance of six different millimeter-wave (mm-wave) gallium nitride (GaN) high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) technologies fabricated…
ABSTRACT: A new wideband open-loop active harmonic load–pull measurement approach is presented. The proposed method is based on wideband data-acquisition and wideband signal-injection of the incident and device generated power…
ABSTRACT: This paper introduces a direct and accurate method for controlling and measuring the on-wafer device terminations at the base-band / envelope frequency, using an extension of a conventional network…
ABSTRACT: An impedance tuner is a critical component in a noise parameter measurement setup, as it allows a user to vary the source impedance presented to a device under test…
Real Time Power Sensors perform many steps in parallel, and at the full acquisition rate. As a result, it is not necessary to halt acquisition following a trigger event to…
Abstract: Boonton (a Wireless Telecom Group company) has introduced its new 55 Series line of wideband USB power sensors that brings ultra-fast pulse and modulation power measurement capabilities typically associated…
ABSTRACT: — A revealing case study is presented to explore the impact of excess noise ratio (ENR) and vector network analyzer (VNA) mechanical coaxial calibration on accurate on-wafer noise parameter…
ABSTRACT: Noise creates unwanted interference, which degrades communication signals and can even lead to signal loss. This doesn’t bode well for many electronic devices, such as sensitive receivers. Oftentimes, noise…
ABSTRACT: Due to its flexibility and improvements to spectrum utilization, time division duplex (TDD) is vital to the successful operation of 5G cellular communications networks. TDD implementation requires superior synchronization…
ABSTRACT: Secondary surveillance radar (SSR) has been around since World War II, based on the military’s “identification friend or foe” radar system. While the radar systems have evolved, many of…
ABSTRACT: This Holzworth authored article for Microwave Journal helps removes the mystery from additive phase noise measurements. The article can be downloaded here or can be viewed directly at Microwave Journal.…
