Analog Devices Expands True Time Delay Beamformer Portfolio
The ADAR4000 is a highly integrated, single input, quad output time delay unit, operating from 2 to 18 GHz. Each of the four channels has an adjustable time delay unit (TDU) and digital step attenuator (DSA). The TDU can operate in a 508 ps mode with 4 ps resolution, or a 256 ps mode with 2 ps resolution. Each path also has an adjustable amplifier bias. All this functionality fits in a 6 mm x 6 mm package.

Why CCDF is Better for Measuring P1dB
Discover why Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF) curves are the more effective method for measuring P1dB and P3dB in RF power amplifiers. This paper explains how CCDF curves provide a statistical description of power levels in digitally modulated signals, offering advantages over traditional methods, especially for amplifiers with soft compression characteristics. The paper outlines the process for using CCDF curves, provides examples and demonstrates how this approach accurately determines compression points for various amplifier classes.
