RF over fiber: overcoming an inherent transmission-line problem, part 2
Learn the basics of how to use RF over fiber. You have many options.
Single-port VNA covers frequencies to 14 GHz
The R140B from Copper Mountain Technologies lets you characterize antennas and cables without the need for an additional test cable.
RF over fiber: overcoming an inherent transmission-line problem, part 1
Optical fiber can carry analog RF signals from antenna to receiver with far less loss than coaxial cables.
ICs and software synchronize Open RAN networks
The Si55xx and Si540x timing ICs from Skyworks work in tandem with AccuTime software to provide low-jitter clocks and IEEE 1588 PTP fronthaul sync. In networks, timing is everything. Without solid, accurate timing and synchronization, data gets lost. Skyworks has introduced ICs that work with its software to address the timing relative to 5G radios…
How to safeguard cellular base stations from five electrical hazards
Circuit-protection components such as fuses and TVS diodes protect power and data circuits from damage. Here's where and how to insert them into your circuits.
RF power sensor covers 10 MHz to 8 GHz
The PWR-8PW-RC from Mini-Circuits let’s you measure peak, average, crest factor, and duty cycle. Anything you design with an RF transmitter needs power measurements to ensure it meets specifications. The PWR-8PW-RC Smart Power Sensor from Mini-Circuits connects to a PC, µC-based device, or network, letting you measure peak, average, crest factor, and duty cycle power…

Fixed RF attenuator handles 300 W
BroadWave Technologies announced a 300-Watt fixed attenuator series designed for wireless applications. These attenuators reduce the amount of power delivered in a transmission line without introducing much noise or distortion. Model series 352-023-XXX is a 50-Ohm fixed attenuator with an operating frequency range of DC to 2400 MHz. Standard attenuation values are 3, 6, 10,…
