How to optimise digital modulation accuracy in an IQ modulator? Bruce Hemp and Peter Stroet from Linear Technology describe how a vector signal analyser helps optimise EVM performance of the LTC5598 direct quadrature modulator. EVM, or error vector magnitude, is essentially a scalar measurement of digital modulation accuracy, an important figure of merit for any ...

Apple is thought to be developing its own super low power display technology for iPhones. This is the latest example of Apple looking to take ownership of the core semiconductor technologies in its mobile phones. It has been designing its own processors and system-on-chip devices for at least two generations of the iPhone. A report ...

A range of aluminium electrolytic capacitors from Panasonic Automotive & Industrial System are available in can sizes measuring down to 4×5.8mm. This is a significant reduction in can size on previous capacitors, said the supplier. The FKS series offers increased capacitance values than previous products. For example, the new 25V 33µF FKS capacitor, which comes ...

Atmel has formed a partnership with French embedded systems design house and manufacturer Lacroix Electronics. The aim seems to be to design its microcontrollers and other ICs into embedded systems products for industrial applications and radio communications. As a result the semiconductor company will be able to offer complete system products and not only ICs. ...
Rohde & Schwarz targets testing of 5G radio channels
The spectrum and channel bandwidth requirements of 5G mobile communications is raising test challenges. For example, 5G mobile radio will use microwave and millimeter‑wave frequencies and it will have larger channel bandwidth. According to Rohde & Schwarz, one of the test requirements of 5G will be channel sounding. “5G developers need to know the exact transmission path ...
