On Demand: Intuitive Microwave Filter Design: Narrowband, High-Q Cavity Combline Filter

This webinar by Dan Swanson from DGS Associates showcases five steps in building a narrowband, high-Q cavity combline filter design using the Cadence AWR Design Environment platform and SW Filter Design software.

On Demand: First Pass Design Methodology for a Broadband 100W RFPA

Learn about a broadband RF power amplifier (PA) design methodology for continuous wave operation using load pull for optimal impedance extraction, network synthesis, and electromagnetic (EM) analysis. The design uses a commercially available packaged gallium nitride (GaN) on SiC device and the integrated design flow within the Cadence AWR Design Environment platform to produce a first-pass reference design. Presented by Jack Brunning of SARAS Technology.

On Demand: Balun Design for a Wide Bandwidth L-Band 200W Power Amplifier

Review the application and design of a printed Balun suitable for L-band (1350-1850MHz) push-pull power amplifiers. The design begins with an idealized circuit simulation in Cadence AWR Microwave Office software using closed-form transmission line models followed by a more rigorous 2.5D planar EM simulation conducted using Cadence AXIEM 3D planar EM analysis. The webinar also covers measured results and techniques for analyzing the performance of components with non-50-ohm terminations. Presented by Dr. Dominic FitzPatrick.

On Demand: Reappraisal of RFPA Modes

This webinar, presented by Dr. Steve Cripps, reviews recent work calling into question several well-established principles in RF power amplifier (PA) design. Conventional theory assumes that the active device current waveform is invariant with output voltage, but the “soft” IV knee characteristic of a gallium nitride (GaN) device, along with the inevitable presence of a second harmonic component in the output voltage waveform, cause some substantial changes to these conventional and widely-held results.

On Demand: Addressing Instability in Wide Bandwidth High Power Amplifiers

Addressing stability in high-power amplifiers (HPAs) over wide bandwidths is one of the biggest challenges that RF PA designers must overcome. This webinar, presented by Dr. Dominic FitzPatrick, discusses the use of stability analysis in Cadence AWR Microwave Office software to identify the conditions leading to device instability and implement acceptable stabilizing solutions through circuit simulation in a 200W, wideband PA.
