We uncovered an audio myth on our YouTube channel I didn’t even know was being perpetuated by some esoteric amplifier companies. Apparently there is a belief that designing an amplifier to be too ...

Power amplifiers (PAs) are pivotal elements in modern wireless communication and radar systems, where enhancing output power and efficiency remains a critical challenge. Recent advances in PA design ...

What if a palm-sized amp could outperform larger, more expensive modules while delivering serious sound quality? Check out ...

CMOS amplifier design remains a critical focus in modern electronic research, particularly with the growing demand for low power consumption and high performance in integrated circuits. Central to ...

The x1 voltage amplifier or “buffer” is a standard building block of analog design. This article presents the design of a discrete, low-parts-count, high-performance, matched-transistor buffer, and ...

After 40 years of creating audio equipment, the last thing that Kostas Metaxas wanted to produce was “another box with transistors on a heatsink”. He was dreaming of the most spectacular architecture, ...

Engineers often perceive RF-low-noise-amplifier design as a difficult task. Obtaining a low-noise figure with high stable gain can be challenging—even intimidating. However, with the recent evolution ...
