RF front ends are advancing through the integration of high-frequency passive networks with increasingly efficient active devices engineered for ultra-wide bandwidths and constrained power envelopes.

Semiconductor manufacturers have developed innovative production techniques that enable the integration of multiple components and a dc-dc converter IC die into a single module. Producing such a dc-dc ...

Planar spiral inductors are less expensive than eitherchip or coil inductors for PCB (printed-circuit-board)-based designs. Accuracy in designinga spiral inductor is important because it isdifficult ...
