Recent years have seen major changes in the frequency synthesis art. Ultra-low-noise discrete VCOs, the heart of low-noise synthesizers for decades, now find themselves challenged by integrated VCOs. The best discrete VCOs still enjoy 20- to 30-dB phase-noise superiority, but IC companies are conducting an asymmetric battle to dominate the market with full integration based not on the best VCO noise, but on architectural innovations that often render free-running VCO noise less important.
This series addresses the design of ultra-low-noise synthesizers.
Understanding how fields interact to create intentional and unintended transmitters and receivers, and applying EMI mitigation techniques when designing and testing, can lead ...
Almost all ADAS sensor systems have the need for small, high efficiency and high power density magnetics for switch mode power supplies. In this video, discover products, from...
In high frequency DC-DC converters, inductors filter out the AC ripple current superimposed on the DC output. Whether the converter steps the voltage down – buck – or steps the...
Transformers are an essential component for properly driving and optimizing the use of wide band-gap devices like SiC FETs. A wide variety of off-the-shelf transformers optimized...
