Ampleon has released the BLF989E RF power transistor, which uses the very latest ninth-generation high-voltage (50V) LDMOS process technology. The BLF989E has been designed to deliver the highly ...

Faced with rising energy prices, the broadcast industry seeks innovative ways to cut power and operating expenses. Freescale Semiconductor (NYSE:FSL, FSL.B) is addressing this market need with a ...

This rf amplifier ensure the power you need to boost a small transmitter. Depending of input rf power, power supply and transistor, this amplifier can boost from 15W up to 30W. The most important ...

High-power broadcast-TV transmitter design should become easier with the MRF6P3300H enhancement-mode MOSFET. Designed for use in TV transmitters of 1, 5, and 10 kW, it can dissipate up to 300 W. It's ...

Freescale Semiconductor, supplier of high-power radio-frequency (RF) power transistors for 2.5G and 3G wireless base-station amplifiers, has shipped more than 10 million high-power, high-frequency RF ...

Ampleon, the Netherlands-based power semiconductor firm, has introduced an RF power transistor designed for DVB-T UHF asymmetrical wideband Doherty amplifier applications. The company claims the RF ...

Component distributor Richardson RFPD has prepared a couple of documents on the options available for designers of RF amplifiers. Rather than in-depth, they are a useful introduction to the different ...

Rohde & Schwarz’s transmitter plant in Teisnach, Germany Readers who have followed my RF Technology column for the last 20 years may have noticed that I started out saying that solid-state amplifiers ...

The worldwide introduction of terrestrial DTV and radio systems will lead to a significant number of new transmitters being installed in the coming years. With the recent rise in energy prices, and ...

It all started when the phone rang. A fairly savvy radio operations manager was at a site with a sick FM transmitter, a Continental 816R-2C 20 kW transmitter with a tube power amplifier, solid-state ...

We’ve previously remarked upon a generation lucky enough to be well-versed in microcontrollers and computersised electronics through being brought up on the Arduino or the Raspberry Pi but unlucky ...
