Adjusting and characterizing Wideband radiofrequency converters poses significant challenges due to numerous possible configurations. The complexity arises from variable local oscillator (LO) frequencies, different sub-bands, switched filter banks, and the high number of mixers within the modules.

Our Tech Brief presents efficient approaches that balance resource optimization with accurate performance data collection for these converters.

This whitepaper explores the role of engineered substrates in enhancing IoT by improving RF and microwave performance for efficient power use. It examines Wi-Fi and cellular protocol evolution, highlights Soitec’s innovations for IoT, and addresses challenges in cloud connectivity, offering insights and recommendations for future IoT advancements.

This paper explores various phase noise measurement methods and introduces a test solution that provides high-volume-production phase noise measurement speed and accuracy across wide frequency and dynamic ranges. The process employs cross-correlation technology to achieve low phase noise measurement levels at offset frequencies close to and far from the carrier.

Fortify has built a portfolio of high-performance low-loss gradient dielectric devices that improve antennas using Fortify’s tailored design and manufacturing technologies for gradient-refractive index components. Taking a close look at gradient-dielectric enhanced antennas and adjacent systems, this guide covers examples of upgraded devices and their applications that Fortify has either built-to-print or designed and manufactured to transform and enhance antennas systems.

The demand for increased bandwidth in data communications is continually increasing, and the integrity of RF signals has become a major design concern. In broadband bias applications, most inductors do not cover enough impedance bandwidth. This paper discusses the proper use of broadband chokes in bias tees and critical design considerations including frequency range, DC resistance and current requirements.

The appetite for high data rate and ubiquitous terrestrial connectivity has stimulated huge investment in low Earth orbit (LEO) constellation systems. Low orbit significantly reduces launch and equipment costs, cuts latency by 20× compared with GEO links, and manages bandwidth and users more efficiently.

Mobile data traffic continues to grow. Constant video streaming is on the rise in applications like TikTok, Netflix and Instagram, but also increasingly LinkedIn and even simple websites. Ericsson estimates that mobile data traffic, excluding fixed wireless access, is going to increase by a factor of 3x by 2029.

This whitepaper provides a glimpse of the trends in mobile telecommunications spectrum allocation for 6G, how radio architectures are evolving to make the best use of this spectrum, and the innovations taking place in advancing RF Front End (RFFE) technology to make 6G possible.
