Until now, the focus in developing wireless communications formats has been almost exclusively on using novel techniques to overcome specific channel impairments (i.e. multipath, selective fading, etc). What has been missing is an assessment of the overall energy efficiency of the final hardware that is to be deployed. This paper introduces this type of analysis.
Software for Windows PC's with multiple calculators for PC board parameters.
The Saturn PCB Toolkit is the best resource for PCB related calculations you can find.
It incorporates many features that PCB designers and engineers are in regular need of like current capacity of a PCB trace, via current, differential pairs and much more. Please download our PCB Toolkit today for free and enjoy!

This connector identifier guide features schematic drawings of over 50 different connector types in each gender. The guide also features a chart comparing the maximum frequency capability of each type. A small glossary of RF terms is also included.
This large reference volume is referenced in some of our courses on RF system design.
A brief overview of power meter technologies as well as links to other valuable resources on the subject. A survey of power meter vendors is also included.
Instructor Earl McCune's presentation from the 2014 IEEE MTT symposium in Phoenix, AZ is available for downloading from the IEEE website. This presentation looks at the problem of providing high efficiency and linearity from a power transistor at the same time.
This application note provides and in-depth analysis of the performance of connections using mixed connector types among SMA, 3.5-mm, and 2.92-mm varieties. These connectors are all designed to work together mechanically, but have some differences electrically.
This application note discusses the use of SMA connectors in the lab, along with their performance when mated to APC 3.5mm connectors.
