Multi-mode cavity filters offer high power in a compact device, but are difficult to design by conventional methods. This article shows how the filter synthesis tool Filter Designer 3D can be used to design and tune a multi-mode compact ridged waveguide filter to meet stringent specifications.

Future communication systems will comprise many diverse systems that will be implemented with a wide array of solutions. Providing increased mobile broadband traffic and higher data rates, as demanded by end users, will require adding more spectrum, making that spectrum more efficient, and building out ultra-dense network configurations.

PCB Prototyping for Smarties examines how to align your prototyping strategy with business requirements, maintain flexibility in a fast-paced, always-evolving competitive environment and produce quality boards.

More of today's design problems are being caused by the systems that power them. Designs are placing higher demands on their power systems and so during the design phase, your power supply needs to be able to provide reliable power to your device under test.

It’s easy to underestimate the challenges of network analysis at millimeter-wave frequencies. Follow these hints to optimize your measurements for ease, accuracy, and repeatability.

You're expected to deliver excellent results while staying within stringent budget constraints. Did you know that your test assets are critical to your success? Our new complimentary eBook offers eight ways to shift your perspective, enhance your processes, and transform test asset insights into an increased return on investment. 

Traditionally RF power amplifiers used GaAs technology which has a well behaved and understood performance. Over the past few years GaN technology is replacing GaAs because GaN is more efficient and has a higher power density resulting in higher power MMICs and FETs.

Development of any wireless system is a demanding task, bounded by tight constraints and complicated by innumerable tradeoffs. This application note offers solutions that will help you overcome fundamental challenges in transmitter testing, including standard-compliance, power measurements, interference, EMC, and power consumption.

One of the most challenging things about working with millimeter-wave technology is getting accurate measurements. Uncertainty can be introduced at many points during testing, so selecting the right test equipment is an important decision.

While some of the challenges that lie ahead to meet the 5G requirements may seem daunting, simulation can already be used to develop understanding and explore innovative solutions. Altair FEKO offers comprehensive solutions for device and base station antenna design, while WinProp will determine the requirements for successful network deployment.
