RF front ends are advancing through the integration of high-frequency passive networks with increasingly efficient active devices engineered for ultra-wide bandwidths and constrained power envelopes.

There is a clear transition toward advanced or active antenna systems (AAS) from passive antenna systems (PAS). This transition is not only in terrestrial communications, such as 5G/6G and Wi-Fi, but ...

Back in the Jurassic days of electronics, before Lee de Forest developed the three-element “grid audion” (a triode vacuum tube providing amplification) around 1906, circuits and channels were passive ...

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

TTM Technologies, Inc. has expanded its Radio Frequency and Specialty Components (RF&S) product line by introducing a new family of components for telecom band n104, aimed at enhancing 5.5G ...

There are no standards in this area, but here are some general thoughts that condense known industry practice and have worked reliably in our transmitter and antenna systems for years. Actual ...

The industry research firm Yole Développement says that more than 65 percent of substrates used in fabricating switches for handsets are SOI-based. This is a high-growth part of the market, putting up ...

A rapid increase in wireless connectivity and more sensors, coupled with a shift away from monolithic SoCs toward heterogeneous integration, is driving up the amount of analog/RF content in systems ...
