RF front ends are advancing through the integration of high-frequency passive networks with increasingly efficient active devices engineered for ultra-wide bandwidths and constrained power envelopes.

There is a clear transition toward advanced or active antenna systems (AAS) from passive antenna systems (PAS). This transition is not only in terrestrial communications, such as 5G/6G and Wi-Fi, but ...

Back in the Jurassic days of electronics, before Lee de Forest developed the three-element “grid audion” (a triode vacuum tube providing amplification) around 1906, circuits and channels were passive ...

Active inductors have emerged as a transformative component in CMOS radio frequency (RF) circuit design, effectively replacing traditional passive inductors with active semiconductor networks. By ...

Leading engineers from AVX & subsidiary American Technical Ceramics Corp. (ATC) will be on-site to promote an array of passive components optimized for RF & optical communications applications, ...

The industry research firm Yole Développement says that more than 65 percent of substrates used in fabricating switches for handsets are SOI-based. This is a high-growth part of the market, putting up ...

A rapid increase in wireless connectivity and more sensors, coupled with a shift away from monolithic SoCs toward heterogeneous integration, is driving up the amount of analog/RF content in systems ...

Vendors and partners weigh in on trends, challenges, and customer demands in RF/microwave testing (including 5G), as well as what new solutions are on the market. As the basis for telecommunications ...
