For thorough product testing and high test throughput, test engineers need to understand the basics of RF technology, what to test for, and which instruments are best suited for the job.

Q: Another topic is “Design-for-Testability for RF Circuits and Systems”—is this driven by new DFT capabilities in the RF realm? A: Yes, but it’s driven also by new needs. With wireless business ...

A RF probe is a circuit for testing equipment that converts a high frequency signal into a DC voltage. In this way it is very easy to measure RF voltages for either testing or adjustments of ...

Both the performance and reliability of RF designs are closely linked to the layout implementation. Once the physical layout of a RF design is complete, and circuit implementation is validated with ...

This diverse portfolio underscores the convergence of advanced calibration algorithms, adaptive chip-level techniques, and robust simulation frameworks in achieving power-efficient RF circuit designs.

Active inductors have emerged as a transformative component in CMOS radio frequency (RF) circuit design, effectively replacing traditional passive inductors with active semiconductor networks.

Cadence has added the "turbo" technology it recently brought to the Virtuoso® Spectre® Circuit Simulator to its RF analysis. The result is performance improvements of two to five times -- sometimes ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Front-end limiter circuits using Schottky and PIN diodes can provide needed protection in communications and other RF systems ...
