RF amplifier basics Jul 1, 2003 12:00 PM, By John Battison, P.E., technical editor, RF With so much attention on IBOC, it is appropriate to step back and review the basic principles of RF amplifiers.

Given a thorough understanding of how RF field probes are specified, one can then make informed decisions as to which probes are best suited for a particular application. RF Field Probes ...

Evaluating S-parameters and other CW stimulus responses is essential for characterising rf amplifiers. An rf vector network analyser (VNA) plays a critical role for this purpose, and proper ...

Semiconductor test engineers can expect to increasingly confront problems related to RF, memory, and compression-based-scan test; timing and jitter measurements; design for manufacturability (DFM); ...

But as Alex Whittimore shows in this workshop from the 2020 Hackaday Remoticon, you can do a lot of RF emissions debugging with simple and inexpensive tools.

Agilent Technologies is running a full day seminar entitled "Back to Basics RF and Digital Measurements workshop". The date and location is 2 October at Winnersh.
