Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design an RF amplifier circuit and provide a scenario where K is less than 1. How would this affect the circuitry?

💡 Hint: Consider how component choices and their arrangements influence stability.

Challenge 2 Hard

Calculate K and Δ for a given amplifier with the S-parameters: S11 = 0.4, S12 = 0.05, S21 = 2.5, S22 = 0.3. Are these values acceptable for design?
