RF Design using Differential S-parameters for Wirelesss - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

The evolution of semiconductor-based radios has allowed the rapid development of RF design both for wireless systems and wireless modules. One advantage of semiconductor integration is the ability to realize various radio systems as differential circuits to maximize performance and yield. However, many wireless systems are single-ended at the front-end terminals. Regardless if the interface is single-ended or differential, it is important to understand the characteristics of a single differential RF port in terms of Mixed-Mode S-parameters in order to bridge the two disciplines of RF design engineering and semiconductor engineering.
