Despite recent improvements in the performance of RF LDMOS field-effect transistors (FETs), temperature drift and aging continue to affect the efficiency and linearization of power amplifiers using ...

Dynamic-biasing technology, which practically triples the efficiency of the amplifier stage, can cut both power consumption and cost in microwave equipment. Many considerations go into the deployment ...

A class-A amplifier is defined as an amplifier that is biased so that the output current flows at all times. Thus, the input signal-drive level to the amplifier is kept small enough to avoid driving ...

Battery-powered op-amp applications, such as those found in automotive and marine equipment, have only a single available power source. Other applications, such as computers, may operate from the ac ...
