The x1 voltage amplifier or “buffer” is a standard building block of analog design. This article presents the design of a discrete, low-parts-count, high-performance, matched-transistor buffer, and ...

In Part 1, I discussed the background behind lock-in amplifiers. Here, I’ll cover analog and digital lock-in amplifiers, software-defined radio, de-embedding, and the hardware and software ...

Accurately measuring current flow is a standard requirement in several applications (Fig. 1). Depending on the specific need, the options available to designers can include discrete designs assembled ...

It is essential to use a combination of specialized and general CAD tools in RF and microwave solid-state power amplifier design. June 17th, 2020 - By: Wolfspeed, a Cree Company In the world of RF and ...

Many amplifiers exhibit an increase in voltage noise spectral density (NSD) as they approach the unity-gain crossover frequency. This noise peaking can cause your circuits to have 39% higher noise ...

If you ever wanted to build your own tube amplifier but you were intimidated by working with high voltages, [Marcel]’s low-voltage tube amp design might spark your interest. The design operates with a ...
