An RF Signal Chain is generally composed of a series of RF devices and components, each with their own unique behavior. In every case, however, each component and device within the signal chain presents an impedance at their input ports and output ports. Moreover, the interconnect between devices and components within a signal chain also ..

Though 2020 has posed many challenges for economies and consumers around the world, 5G deployments and developments continued. Many industries are putting a substantial amount of their stock in the economic potential that 5G services should provide. Given the remote working/work-from-home and remote schooling situations many continue to find themselves in, there may be an ..

The rise of emerging millimeter-wave applications has begun to change the landscape of millimeter-wave device and system testing. In previous years, millimeter-wave applications were the purview of scientific research, military/defense, and satellite communications. These applications are typically comfortable with low-volume production, high single-unit costs, long lead times, custom solutions, and labor-intensive testing/quality/verification methods. Unlike previous ..

RF filters are passive or active components commonly used in the signal chain of virtually all radio and RF sensing technologies. The main purpose of a filter is to significantly attenuate unwanted portions of the spectrum, or specific frequencies, while only minimally impacting the operating frequencies. RF filters are typically constructed of various resonator technologies ..
