Supporting Digital Television Trends with Next-Generation FPGAs

Question: What do the following items have in common?

  • iPhones
  • Avatar 3D (James Cameron’s new movie)
  • Digital SLR cameras
  • LCD digital televisions

Answer: They are all evidence that consumers strongly prefer products with “stunning” visuals.

This white paper shows how these trends towards new features and faster introduction rates of new models are fueling increased FPGA use within high-definition television electronics.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
