To deliver the next generation of satellite services, operators are increasingly exploiting the benefits of wideband digital payloads. Broadband ADCs/DACs now directly digitise/re-construct IF/RF ...

It’s one thing to learn about transmission lines in theory, and quite another to watch a voltage pulse bounce off an open connector. [Alpha Phoenix] bridges the gap between knowledge and understanding ...

What is impedance matching? Applications of impedance matching. Impedance matching and design considerations. Impedance (Z) matching is an essential part of most RF circuit design. Regardless of what ...

Impedance matching is easy if you know the basics. Download the eBook to find out how. During impedance matching, a specific electronic load (R L) is made to match a generator output impedance (R g) ...

All 50Ω microstrip lines in FR4 have the same aspect ratio. Using a 2D field solver, we can explore what this ratio is for a specific value of Dk (dielectric constant) and conductor thickness. Spoiler ...
