Abstract: There is provided an RF amplifier arrangement comprising: an input operable to receive an RF input signal; an output operable to output an amplified RF signal; at least one amplifier bank located between the input and output, the or each amplifier bank comprising a plurality of amplifier stages; an input level detector operable to measure the signal level of the RF input signal; and a controller operable to control the amplifier bank, wherein the controller is operable to select one or more different configurations of the amplifier by selecting one or more amplifier stages and/or modifying one or more characteristics of one or more amplifier stages in dependence upon the signal level of the RF input signal to dynamically adapt and optimise its characteristics.

Abstract: The present application describes a connector assembly, a circuit board assembly, a cable assembly and to a method of manufacturing a connector assembly. A connector assembly comprises a shroud; and a plurality of co-axial radio frequency connectors at least partially received in the shroud such that the shroud extends around each radio frequency connector and between adjacent radio frequency connectors. The shroud comprises at least one piece of radiowave absorption material arranged to absorb radio frequency energy leaking or dispersing from the radio frequency connectors in use. Another connector assembly comprises a body, a plurality of radio frequency connectors at least partially received in the body, and a conductive foil integrally formed with the body and partially extending beyond the body.
