Passive intermodulation (PIM) distortion arises when non‐linearities and imperfections within electrical connectors and transmission lines cause the intermodulation of signals, leading to spurious ...

Distortion comes in two basic classes: Linear distortion, which is not an oxymoron; and nonlinear distortion, which includes all other distortions except noise. Noise is quite another matter and is ...

Unless you are a hermit or a Stylite, robust interaction with your neighbors is usually a good thing. Of course, this is not the case with broadcast transmitters, where living in isolation is usually ...

Intermodulation distortion is one of the most interesting signal analyzer measurements. Often abbreviated IMD, it is an important metric of linearity for a wide range of RF and microwave components.

Harmonic and intermodulation distortion are discussed, and the reasons given for the failure of the former on disc recording. An apparatus for producing two tones and an analysing equipment for the ...

Figure 1a illustrates a typical transformer having a primary to secondary turns ratio of 1:N and a primary inductance of L P. In the real world, however, transformers aren't ideal, and they can become ...

When choosing an RF instrument, it’s easy to get lost in some of the many specifications that vendors use to characterize an instrument’s performance. Moreover, in a world where wireless technologies ...

If you are looking to implement a multi-carrier transceiver for WCDMA, then this series of articles is for you. Brad Bannon and Bill Schofield of Analog Devices take an in-depth look at the ...
