Previous installments of this article series discussed the need to verify SPICE model accuracy and how to measure the output impedance, small-signal bandwidth, and input-referred errors of operational ...

Linearity Testing RF power amplifier (RFPA) nonlinearities introduce third-order intermodulation distortion (IMD) to the amplifier output signal when driven by a multitone input signal.

As you increase the input power to an amplifier, its output power will rise linearly. At some point the output will begin to flatten or compress, indicating distortion is occurring.

Together with the already successfully introduced broadband amplifier series R&S BBA300-CDE for 380 MHz to 6 GHz and R&S ...

In this series, I’ll provide a complete simulation test bench for operational amplifiers (op amps), covering every key op amp specification, how they impact application performance and the approach ...
