Scientists have developed a chip smaller than a strawberry seed to boost space communications. The tiny signal amplifier is aimed at making future radar-observing and telecommunications space missions ...

When something is described as “Low Noise”, it is by the nature of the language a relative phrase. The higest quality magnetic tape is low noise compared to its cheaper sibling for example, but still ...

The development of low noise amplifiers (LNAs) in complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technology has been at the forefront of modern wireless communication research. CMOS LNAs are integral ...

The conventional signal demodulator of a chopper amplifier can be substituted by track-and-hold (T/H) and averaging functions. This arrangement provides offset cancellation without requiring low-pass ...

Low voltage amplifiers are often used in single-supply voltage circuits and make use of the rail-to-rail output feature these amplifiers have. While the output of these amplifiers can swing close to ...

Piezoceramic (PZT), or "piezo," actuators are known to be excellent position transducers in the nanometer or micrometer range. These actuators are widely used in many precision applications. PZTs, ...

Preserving signal quality in measurement applications using off-the-shelf data acquisition equipment–for signal bandwidths up to 1 MHz and sampling rates up to a few million per second–can be ...
