Linearity Of The JFET And MOSFET When In Saturation Over The Entire Cycle
Performing RF amplification in a way that is simultaneously linear and efficient has been a challenge in power amplifier (PA) design. Single transistor PAs can either be operated in a linear, but inefficient, current source mode of operation or as efficient, but nonlinear, switches. These techniques use two FETs, but this paper demonstrates that linear amplification can be achieved at high power with an efficiency greater than 60%, using a single FET.
Compact Solution For Network Analysis In The mmWave Range
The R&S^®ZNA vector network analyzer with integrated LO output and direct IF input options is a simple, cost-effective solution for 2-port and 4-port measurements using Rohde & Schwarz mmWave converters.
Reduce Risk With A Better Measurement Process
Measurement risk is the probability of making an incorrect decision. Many quality standards require calibration to reduce measurement risk. This white paper explores calibration, how it mitigates risk, as well as different calibration deliverables that can reduce testing costs.
Testing A 24-28GHz Power Amplifier Using The 5G New Radio Test Standard
In this white paper, we will introduce some of the main challenges in test and measurement of a device at mmWave frequencies, with a 26 GHz pioneer band defined for the UK between 24.25 - 27.5 GHz.
Accurately Measure Your UWB Device's Time Of Flight
The R&S®CMP200 radio communication tester together with the R&S®CM-Z300A time of flight kit provides an accurate setup for time of flight measurements – in validation, calibration and certification.
