Green standards are challenging power designers to deliver more energy-efficient, cost-effective, smaller, and more reliable power delivery systems. A critical building block within ac-dc and isolated dcdc power supplies is the isolated gate driver. These trends push the need for greater power efficiency and increased isolation-device integration.

Analog to digital converters (ADCs) are the critical downlink bridge between the electromagnetic world and that of advanced digital signal processing. Extending sampling frequencies and bandwidth capabilities of these system critical components into the higher microwave frequencies opens a myriad of opportunities for future communication engineers to advance the state-of-theart and to deliver greater flexibility in spectral usage.

Uncover how SIGINT has evolved into an asset capable of influencing conflict outcomes. In today's complex battlespace, technology and information intertwine, the effective use of SIGINT is necessary for achieving a strategic advantage. Explore the advanced signal monitoring and analysis tools at the forefront of this digital warfare landscape.

Simulation and analysis of radar signal scattering and radar cross section (RCS) are important and increasingly popular tools for a growing list of applications involving radar sensing. RCS is an important consideration not only in the design of radar systems, but also in the design of objects that must be optimized to evade or invite radar detection.

With this essential guide, you'll have all the tools you need to build a solid foundation of 6G knowledge.

Understanding the meaning of S-parameters, how they are measured, and their limitations can lead to more meaningful simulations of RF- and microwave-frequency inductors, chokes, wideband RF transformers, and high-speed common mode chokes. This document describes how S-parameters are generated and how to best apply them to your simulations.

Simulation can be a big time-saver when designing EMI filters for DC/DC converters. Power supply control chip vendors offer various filter design tools that provide reasonable design choices for filter simulation before any hardware prototype is available. However, simulated results can differ significantly for different tools if simulated models are not accurate or do not cover all the relevant components.

Phase noise is caused by an RF waveform’s unintentional phase modulation, degrading the overall fidelity of a signal. In this white paper, learn phase noise fundamentals, how phase noise impacts the performance of radar and digital communications systems, and the limitations and advantages of two different phase noise measurement methods.

This paper explores the implementation of Mini-Circuits’ BFHK-series high-rejection LTCC filters in a coplanar waveguide (CPW) environment using a novel interposer board and related effects on filter rejection. Real test data from a leading customer’s evaluation of these filters in a channelized housing is presented demonstrating comparable rejection performance to that of stripline implementations in the range of 70 to 90 dB.

Radiofrequency engineers and microwave/mmWave antenna designers are often limited by the strict constraints of traditional antenna manufacturing methods, leading to compromised performance, reduced innovation, or ballooning costs. Fortify’s innovative additive manufacturing technology has unlocked possibilities, design freedoms, and more powerful antenna systems across a wide range of antenna applications. This RF applications guide presents nine ways that 3D-printed dielectrics will transform and enhance your antenna design.
