Amplifier output power comes in lots of forms. An amplifier designed for linear Class A or Class AB use (with transistors remaining turned on) with continuous-wave (CW) alerts will typically ship much less output energy than the peak power levels potential with an amplifier developed for pulsed alerts. An example of the latter is a category D amplifier that switches on and off to save energy and boost effectivity.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - October 18, 2010 - Atheros Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATHR), a worldwide leader in progressive applied sciences for wireless and wired communications, at present announced a new family of hybrid dwelling networking solutions that combines the trade's hottest shopper networking applied sciences.

Sherwood's jumping in the game with a couple of new receivers to spotlight throughout this week's CEDIA event, the RD-7505 (pictured) and wide band amplifiers RD-705i. Related aside from the 705i's addition of WiFi and community (DLNA, UPnP) streaming features they bring all the HDMI 1.4, 3D ready, dual zone control and lossless audio codec support we've come to count on, even with just three HDMI inputs. Both ship in November for $499 and $399, press launch is after the break.

Next-technology radio platforms are moving to a direct RF sampling structure at an growing tempo. This structure can considerably reduce the size, weight, and solid state power amplifiers (SWaP) of the radio, but it introduces the brand new challenge of needing to simulate the info converter as an RF machine, relatively than a baseband machine. This text will present a technique for analyzing GSPS ADCs in RF programs.
