RF GaN-on-Si Technology Powers the Future of Wireless

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.

Highly Integrated Multibeam Beamformers Offer SWaP Benefits for Payload Phased Array Antennas

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.

Broadband Chokes for Bias Tee Applications: How to Successfully Apply a DC Bias onto an RF Line

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.

A DevSecOps Approach to Integrated Hardware/Software System Development

DoD software teams have increasingly migrated to Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps) and this approach works very well when software is deployed on standard devices. When the hardware platform is custom and developmental, however, DevSecOps teams tend to need help. Learn how Benchmark bridges this gap by deploying tools and processes that enable the hardware to evolve throughout the program.

Distributed RF Modules for Automated Reconfiguration of Antenna Measurement Systems

Balancing the performance and cost of antenna measurement RF sub-systems is an important part of the design process. Small or low frequency systems often use a centrally located vector network analyzer without any remotely installed RF electronics. As these systems get larger or the frequency increases, the need to locate RF components remotely to maximize the available dynamic range grows.

Comparative Analysis of High-Rejection LTCC Filters with Monoblock Technology

Beginning in 1965 and for approximately 50 years, transistor density in integrated circuits followed Moore’s Law. Yet during the last 15 years, active RF electronics have evolved into the RF System-on-a-Chip (RF SoC) and RF System-in-a-Package (RF SiP) approaches, which have led to significant SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power and Cost) reduction and simultaneously enhanced processing power.
