The common-emitter configuration (Figure 1a) is the only one in which the input and output are out of phase. For efficient operation at high frequencies, it is crucial to minimize the series ...

Engineers designing RF systems at millimeter wave frequencies face exponentially increasing challenges as losses compound, ...

Abstract— Today’s on-chip Analog/Mixed-Signal and RF (A/RF) systems have reached a limit of size and complexity where transistor-level SPICE and FastSPICE simulation approaches cannot deliver a ...

Although the ubiquitous LM386 IC was designed to be used as an audio amplifier, it has a number of undocumented characteristics that can be exploited to create simple radio receiver circuits that ...

Microsemi Corporation ( MSCC) recently unveiled a 750 watt (W) RF transistor named MDSGN-750ELMV. The transistor is designed to provide highest power performance in air traffic control and accident ...

A technique that uses hydrogen to improve transistor performance on real-world graphene devices has been demonstrated on the wafer-scale. Researchers have demonstrated a 3x improvement in electron ...

In September 2010, a UCLA research team reported that they had overcome some of these difficulties and were able to fabricate graphene transistors with unparalleled speed. These transistors used a ...

Researchers previously reported a self-aligned technique for making graphene transistors with unparalleled speed, but scalability was a question. The team now uses a dielectrophoresis assembly ...
