计算电容在通路的作用，用下面公式计算阻抗（10欧姆以下算低，隔离直流用的；高的话就是用于匹配的）

1/ωC
电容容抗计算器

1. Application functions
   Low Noise Amplifier (LNA)
   Power Amplifier (PA)
   Driver Amplifier
2. RF frequency range
3. Operating temperature
4. Power Supply
   Supply voltage and current consumption
5. (Power) Gain
   G (dB)=10 log (Pout/Pin) = S21(dB)
6. Gain flatness and Return losses (VSWR)
   @VSWR<2.0 or S11, S22<-10dB
7. Noise figure, NF (dB)
   NF(dB)=10 log[(Si/Ni)/(So/No)]

非线性
9.P1dB：Power output at 1dB compression point
真实的功率比理想的少了1dB，描述器件的线性度
10. Harmonic distortion
电压和电流为什么是20log，功率要取10log？
单位统一，电压电流平方

K2，K3一般是负的；且次方数越大系数越小。

二次方产生 ：直流偏移，二次谐波
三次方主要产生 ：增益压缩 ，三次谐波

温度高，电子迁移率低，增益下降。
11. AM to AM and AM to PM Conversion

输入两个频率

IM3产生的频率在我们的频带内，要比相位噪声低6dB

我们能接受的噪声干扰比底噪高1dB，计算后得到IM为-6dB

12. Intermodulation distortion, IMD
    IM2: Second order intermodulation product
    VOUT(IM2) = 1/2 K2 A2 [COS(01)t+ COS(ω2-ω1)t]
    These signals can generally be filtered out!

    IM3: Third order intermodulation product
    VOUT(IM3) = 3/4 K3 A3 [COS(2ω1-ω2)t+ COS(2ω2-ω1)t]
    These in-band signal always cause co-
    channel and adjacent channel
    interference (blocking effect)!
    

ACPR单位dBc，会影响是否干扰到别人。
IM属于功率dBm


13. Third-order intercept point, PIP3(OIP3) 单位dBm，代表一个功率点
功放的线性度
输出功率要比P1dB小10dB

14. Dynamic range

1. Active devices and S-parameters

2. Amplifier impedance matching technique

3. Power gain of amplifiers

4. Stability of RF amplifiers

5. Power gain circles of amplifiers

6. Bias networks of active devices

7. Small signal amplifier design example
