ABC's of RF Components
Our MREs contour technical presentations covering RF & Microwave components and sub-systems. The ABC's
of RF Components is our entry level presentation to get your team up to speed quickly on the basics of RF
Active and Passive Components. It provides an understanding of tradeoffs that confront them on a daily basis,
what is allowable and what is not, options and tolerancing Pro's and Con's. Contact you Acct MRE and
schedule a presentation, the outline can be contoured to your needs and can be an hour to two. Read

Antenna Design 101
The custom design and use of all passive devices are the only way to optimize your RF circuits,
so picking a passive device off the shelf will only get you in the ballpark, not fully peaked
as need be. Antennas are more critical to system performance than all of the other signal chain
building blocks. It is imperative that you learn as much as you can about their design and
construction of your antenna to optimize your Xtmr / Rcvr operation.

Isolator Design 101
Isolators are ferrite loaded devices that provide very good isolation between any number of ports.
Restricted to the physics of magnetic attraction, these devices play an important part of many
transmission amplifiers and associated circuitry. This tutorial provides an understanding of the best
approach to achieving system level specs while providing cost tradeoffs of one single junction vs dual
junction vs triple junction device.

LNA Design
An LNA has to be able to keep first stage noise parameters in check, or the results will be disastrous.
Understanding the inter-play between first to second stage matching and their effects on each other
is very important. This tutorial will provide that understanding and assist you in your design efforts,
making it play the first time.

Magnetics Design 101
Not a magnetic guru? This tutorial will get you up to speed very quickly and without all the side noise
that you will experience on your own. This is the stuff your professor forgot to teach you to make you bench worthy. Read

SAR Testing
This topic has more coverage by the media than any other topic, yet it is also the most misunderstood. This paper by John Lofgren presents a quick and accurate understanding
of allowable exposure and any consequences' that effects the designer. Read
