Techniques
for Minimising Frequency Congestion Problems in Areas with Densely
Populated Microwave Links
Andy Singer of RadioWaves
discuss techniques for minimising frequency congestion problems
in areas with densely populated microwave links.
Power
splitters - measuring up to specification?
Nick Ridler, Martin Salter and Sara Fletcher of the National Physical
Laboratory present a brief summary of a comparison exercise of power
splitter measurements made by 17 leading laboratories around the
world.
Digital
RF and Handset Integration
Concerns about board space, power consumption and cost in mobile
device design have grown in importance as consumers increasingly view
mobile phones as portable home entertainment centers. Bill Krenik and
Peter Rickert of Texas Instruments discuss how their company
addresses this dilemma with technology that helps designers increase
functionality without adding components to the handset.
Integrated
Passive and Active Devices Using CSP, DFN and QFN Packaging for
Wireless Applications
In the recent times, there has been an explosion of growth in the
wireless telecom industry with consequent opportunities for
manufacturers of RF components. To aid miniaturization in this field,
a new generation of integrated components has emerged which offers
the capability to integrate resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes
and transistors into a single monolithic device with minimal
packaging overhead.
