Engineering guides for RF power units, wavelength, free-space path loss, link budgets, antenna gain, received power, link margin, transmission lines, matching, cable loss, and receiver noise.
5 available guides
Design receiver blocker margin with consistent reference planes, compression, two-tone intermodulation, preselection tradeoffs, and desensitization tests.
Calculate RF wavelength, antenna starting length, and coaxial feed-line loss with correct velocity-factor, shortening-factor, attenuation, and power-ratio boundaries.
Learn the RF link-budget workflow, including dB and dBm, EIRP, free-space path loss, Friis received power, antenna gain, cable loss, receiver sensitivity, and link margin.
Learn how reflection coefficient, VSWR, return loss, quarter-wave transformers, L-networks, velocity factor, and electrical length fit into a practical RF matching workflow.
Design RF receiver noise chains using noise figure, equivalent noise temperature, kTB, equivalent noise bandwidth, Friis cascades, and sensitivity margins.
