One of the most common challenges that board- and system-level engineers face in designing an amplifier driver for a precision successive approximation register (SAR) is optimizing the effective ...
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.
We recently saw how certain audio power amplifiers can be used as oscillators. This Design Idea shows how those same parts can be used for simple amplitude modulation, which is trickier than it might ...
