These devices form an integral part of modern electronics, serving to increase the power of a signal for various applications. Understanding their fundamentals is key to comprehending their significance in today’s technology-driven world. Power Amplifiers At its core, a power …
What is a Transceiver? A transceiver is a combination of transmitter and receiver, hence the name transceiver. The transmitter and receiver share the circuitry. It can both transmit and receive radio waves to communicate with another device. Transceivers are widely …
What is oscillator pulling and how is it generated? One of the problems faced while designing a transmitter is Oscillator Pulling or sometimes called Injection Pulling. The output power of a power amplifier is very high which we already know, …
What is linearity? Linearity is the property of a mathematical relationship or function, which can be graphically represented as a straight line. Linearity can be graphically represented as a straight line. We always expect to have this kind of outputs …
This blog talks about the carrier leakage within the transmitter. The analog base circuitry producing the quadrature signals in a transmitter exhibits DC offset. What is DC offset? DC offset is coming from local oscillator leakage. The local oscillator leakage …
In this blog we will discuss about the challenges faced in designing RF transmitters, focusing on direct conversion transmitters. I/Q mismatch What is an I/Q mismatch? We have already discussed this before in receiver blogs and read about I/Q mismatch. …
Amplitude Modulation RF signal utilizes the signal called carrier signals. In simple language it is just an AC signal at a set frequency, in other words, think of it as a link that connects the communication points. AC signals generate …
In this blog section, we will talk about transmitters and their different architectures. We have now finished our receiver blogs check them out RF system design of Receivers. We will be introducing the main blocks of the transmitter, Let’s start …
