With the wave of wireless devices proliferating in the world today, there is a corresponding need to perform analysis of RF circuitry. It’s an exciting time for consumers of wireless devices, but it’s ...

Understanding the causes, similarities, and differences between current and voltage distortion will help you pinpoint most power quality problems. When a writer or speaker mentions harmonic distortion ...

One of the major challenges in communications system design is to successfully capture signals with adequate fidelity. In order to avoid the effects of blockers, signal distortion, and sensitivity ...

Modern RF amplifiers need both linearityand high efficiency. The linearity requirementis due to the use of modern modulationschemes, such as QAM (quadrature-amplitudemodulation) and OFDM ...

At one time, almost all electrical loads were linear — those that weren't made up such a small portion of the total that they had little effect on electrical system operation. That all changed, ...

We all know what distortion sounds like. We’ve heard it in heavy metal tunes, cheap iPod docks and the crummy speakers at Taco Bell drive-thrus. And we’ve all read distortion specs on things like ...

An accumulation of factors within a test system can produce unacceptable waveform distortion, casting doubt on the validity of the test results. Present RF immunity standards do not stipulate waveform ...

Innovation is everywhere around us. From high-performance computing, communications, autonomous driving, and the Internet of Things (figure 1), each segment has led to a rapid increase in design ...
