Passive Baluns in Modern Data Conversion Systems Modern data conversion components utilize differential interfaces to enhance dynamic range, increase noise immunity, reduce harmonic distortion, and support high sampling rates. Differential signaling requires designers to convert single-ended signal sources to differential analog-to-digital converter (ADC) inputs and convert differential digital-to-analog converter (DAC) outputs to single-ended loads. Mini-Circuits’...

Cascading LTCC and Reflectionless Filters to Tailor RFFE Performance In most any wideband RF front end (RFFE), the system bandwidth is limited by some means, even if that limitation is a simple preselector. Often a wideband RFFE that is connected to an antenna must meet aggressive rejection parameters to avoid being desensitized by adjacent band...
