5G is just on the cusp of deployment, with most mobile networks still operating on 4G-LTE technology. So, is it a bit early to be talking about 6G? Given that telecommunications service providers and technology developers have somewhat settled on a new generation of cellular wireless technology every 10 years, this means that 6G is ..

Though Gallium Nitride (GaN) has been making headlines for the past several years as an emerging RF technology, RF semiconductors developed with silicon, namely RF silicon-on-insulator (RF-SOI), has also been advancing as a semiconductor of choice for the exploding RF hardware markets.  Where GaN is a still relatively expensive and small wafer technology, RF-SOI is ..

Virtually every country around the world has some type of electromagnetic compliance (EMC) policy in place to prevent hazardous emissions, susceptible electronics in the marketplace, and to avoid an overabundance of interference. Given the complex nature of EMC, most compliance codes are very strict and the cost of failure is that a product cannot be ..

RF Attenuators come in a wide variety of packages, technologies, and performance ranges. Some RF attenuator technology is compact enough to fit on an IC, while some units are large enough to require internal and/or external thermal management systems. The size and significance of the thermal management of an RF attenuator depends on the attenuator ..
