Within an RF signal chain, there is often the need to provide some signal conditioning in incoming, outgoing, or through signals. One of the most needed signal conditioning methods is amplification of signal energy, which is the key function of RF Amplifiers. Signal amplification involves increasing the amplitude of a signal, this could imply voltage, ..

RF sensing and communication applications often involve very weak signal levels. It is often necessary to use RF Amplifiers to increase the gain, or signal level, of these signals in order to digitize them or otherwise condition these signals to usable levels. However, there are a few trade-offs to consider when increasing a signal’s power ..

Waveguide amplifiers, or full-band/multi-band waveguide amplifiers, are amplifiers housed in assemblies that have either waveguide or coaxial interconnect. Though waveguide interconnect is more common for waveguide amplifiers, some waveguide amplifiers have coaxial interconnect instead, but still perform as specified over a given waveguide frequency band. The main feature of waveguide amplifiers is that they are ..
