Harmonic load-pull systems have gained importance recently, because such setups allow the appropriate harmonic terminations for a transistor to be determined in order to obtain high efficiency and high linearity. Harmonic load-pull can also make the verification of transistor models possible. However, the active load-pull systems that are presently...

This article describes a 2 GHz CMOS complementary voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with differentially tuned MOS varactors for ISM-band wireless communications applications. The VCO is fabricated using a 0.25 µm mixed-signal/RF CMOS process. This VCO, utilizing differentially tuned MOS varactors, can reduce the adverse effect of high varactor sensitivity by...

Thales Electron Devices is proud of its contribution to the success of Giove-A, the first demonstrator satellite for Europe’s Galileo satellite navigation and positioning system. The company has supplied the Traveling Wave Tube Amplifiers (TWTA) that amplify the system validation signals. These microwave tube amplifiers are particularly suitable for...
