RF power sensor linearity is a commonly misunderstood topic. To obtain the most accurate power measurements, though, you need to understand what linearity is, the sources of nonlinearity, and how to ...

A tough challenge for test engineers is explored in terms of test methods, pitfalls, and measurement errors. For the test engineer, RF and microwave power amplifier testing imposes unique challenges.

What is an RF detector? An RF detector monitors or samples the output of an RF circuit and develops a dc output voltage proportional to the power at that point. What do you do with an RF detector? RF ...

Howdy guys - I have an XPA-2 amp hooked up to a pair of B&W683's and am curious how many watts (in real time) I am using. I am not worried about over driving the speakers or worried that the amp is ...

Norwood, Mass.—Chip maker Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) is pre-announcing availability of a RFIC (radio frequency IC) that comprises a dual detector/controller. When it debuts in quantity later this year, ...

The radio frequency (RF) power transfer efficiency of transmit coils and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receive signal chain are directly dependent on the impedance matching condition ...
