High speed data interfaces like USB, HDBaseT™, HDMI, DVI, and DisplayPort require careful consideration to ensure reliable communication that is free of disruptive EMI. Of the many tools at the designer’s disposal like trace routing, termination and component placement, the common mode filter choke remains one of the most powerful. This application note discusses the benefits of using common mode chokes and reviews the performance characteristics associated with their proper application.

The electro-mechanical method used to attach an RF connector to a coaxial cable is called the “cable termination.” Cable termination methods have evolved over the years to improve assembly performance in demanding applications. Military, space, telecommunications, and test and measurement industries design system upgrades to meet market needs and advancements in technologies.

Several of the articles in this eBook cover improvements due to GaN technology including a survey of GaN foundries covering the various processes in production and in development and electronically reconfigurable GaN amplifiers recently introduced by Qorvo. It also covers a giga-watt, multi-way combiner using corrugated coaxial waveguide filters and a mmWave MIMO radar configuration. The eBook also looks at how startups are revolutionizing automotive radar with new 4D sensors for ADAS and autonomy.

Timing and synchronization are critical to 5G communications and much more demanding than they were for 4G networks. 5G networks require lower latency, higher data rates, higher frequencies (in many cases) and more devices. This eBook starts off with an overview of the features in 5G Release 16, reviewing the new applications and potential in this specification. Next it looks at the role of satellites in 5G networks in covering rural and remote areas while being part of the 5G network as a whole. Then, the eBook digs into the importance of oscillators in the timing and synchronization followed by an article that covers how oscillators need to provide low jitter while minimizing power consumption and footprint for next generation optical networks.

This white paper discusses the advancements and integration of Per Vices Cyan software defined radio (SDR) into mission critical systems serving the radar, GPS/GNSS, satellite, and spectrum monitoring & recording markets. With clients needing more spectrum capturing (Rx sampling bandwidth), greater transmit Cyan bandwidth (Tx output bandwidth), and very high data throughput to/from a host machine (digital data transfer), the platform has been upgraded enabling 3GHz bandwidth per radio chain and up to 400Gbps of data transfer.

To realise the 5G vision, new and more sophisticated technologies are required. 5G deployment is gathering pace, and compatible devices are undergoing an essential evolutionary phase to ensure the reliable connectivity, higher data transfer speeds, and increased bandwidths that are integral to the 5G masterplan.

This primer outlines the basics of RF power sensors and highlights a few key characteristics that will help you select the best one for each application. The educational note has three parts: choosing the right type of sensor, attributes of sensor performance, and we outline three ways to integrate a sensor into your measurement application.

This white paper discusses the importance of EM analysis and highlights various Cadence® EM solver technologies for high-frequency system design. Specific application examples showcase the benefits of using these technologies integrated within the Cadence AWR Design Environment® platform, specifically Microwave Office® circuit design software.

RF is any frequency within the electromagnetic spectrum associated with radio wave propagation. Many wireless technologies are based on RF field propagation and RF energy is incorporated in a multitude of applications, from telecommunication to non-communication applications and medical purposes.
