Low phase noise oscillators are critical components in modern communication, sensing and radar systems, where extreme frequency stability is paramount. These oscillators offer superior performance by ...

Back in 2019, Google made waves by claiming it had achieved what has been called “quantum supremacy”—the ability of a quantum computer to perform operations that would take a wildly impractical amount ...

Figure 1 depicts the nature of the information provided by measuring a signal in the time domain vs. the frequency domain. Both provide insight into the content of the signal and possible approaches ...

This paper describes the measurement of additive/residual phase noise of power amplifiers or multipliers for automotive radar sensors at 80 GHz using the interferometric measurement approach in ...

Voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) have a difficult challenge. On one side, they need to be stable with low values of detrimental characteristics such as phase noise, jitter, and drift. On the ...

Noise has always been important to communications experts, but it’s quickly becoming an issue that every semiconductor designer has to contend with. Some chips already have been compromised. Noise can ...
