Amplifiers

Maximum power handling is a common concern of our customers. Nothing is worse than plugging in an expensive device only for it to be immediately destroyed. Understanding power handling is [...]

This is a (virtually) math-free introduction to microwave amplifiers from an applications standpoint. There are many references available for the aspiring amplifier designer; this series of posts [...]

Frequency multipliers are used to generate higher harmonics from an input sinusoid.  In particular, the job of the doubler is to output only the 2nd harmonic.  Invariably, the fundamental tone [...]

We sell a large product line of packaged amplifiers, primarily for use as LO buffer amplifiers, but that can also be used as general purpose gain blocks. While we don’t design the actual [...]

Phase noise, and amplifier noise in particular, has been a pet project of Ferenc’s for some time. This stems from the fact that, as I will detail in a future post, a passive silicon [...]
