Don’t Be Misled by the Datasheet (Part 1): The Real Truth About Amplifier Lifetime

Why can two “100W” RF amplifiers have completely different lifetimes —one operating reliably for 10 years, while another degrades in just three months?

More Power, More Interference?

Is higher power always better for interference? In modern electronic interference systems, this is no longer the case. Advanced detection and localization technologies allow interference signals to be easily detected and characterized. Spurious emissions and phase noise make high-power signals with poor spectral purity easier to identify—and counter.

What Does 50 dB Gain Really Mean?

50 dB gain is a measure of how much a signal can be amplified. In technical terms, it means the input power is increased by about 100,000 times. But what does that really mean in everyday terms?

LDMOS vs GaN: A Silent Battle for RF Power

In the RF power world, one of the most important technology shifts isn’t loud or headline-grabbing—it’s quiet, steady, and happening inside every new amplifier design. The long-established LDMOS technology and the fast-rising GaN devices are engaged in a silent battle, each pushing the boundaries of what modern RF systems can achieve.

Low-Spurious Output Becomes New Competitive Focus

As 5G/6G networks, satellite internet, and automotive radar rapidly expand, RF power amplifiers are facing a new competitive focus. Beyond output power and efficiency, the industry is placing greater emphasis on controlling spurious output (Spur), a shift that is redefining technology roadmaps and becoming essential for global market access.
