RMS-responding RF power meters are widely used in test and measurement applications to precisely and accurately measure the RF power of signals with varying crest factors.
ADIs 5G mmW RF ICs, with patented Digital Predistortion and Online Full System Calibration IP, break the narrow-band vendor paradigm by simultaneously optimizing power consumption, bandwidth, and performance.
The increasing demand for higher data rates in telecommunications and higher resolution in industrial systems is pushing the frequency of operation higher for the electronics that support them.
Benefits of a DAC-based coarse/fine mixer microwave synthesizer are explained, with block diagrams, measured phase noise results and an application circuit provided.
