The
Role Of EVM Measurements In Characterizing Amplifier Modulation Performance
By
Robert Green, Keithley
Instruments, Inc.
In wireless communication devices, phase and amplitude distortion created by
the power amplifier directly affects the quality of the communication. The
most significant measurement for analyzing power amplifier performance in the
latest communication system protocols is error vector magnitude (EVM).
Effects
Of External Power Amplifier Impedance On Measurements
By
CAP Wireless, Inc.
Auxiliary RF and microwave power amplifiers are often used in conjunction with
other test equipment to help evaluate aspects of performance of a particular
component or system. The supporting amplifier is often considered an
"ideal" amplifier during the initial configuration of the test and
measurement system.
Total
Radiated Power Implications For A GSM Power Amplifier
By
RF Micro Devices,
Inc.
As over-the-air (OTA) testing is becoming standardized and is being adopted by
network providers, more pressure is being exerted on the RF engine in a mobile
device to improve its performance in real-world scenarios. Because of this
increased emphasis on OTA testing, the total radiated power (TRP) performance
of the power amplifier is becoming increasingly important.
WiMAX
Power Amplifier Testing
By
Rohde
& Schwarz
The article describes the features and capabilities of an external program
that utilizes Rohde & Schwarz signal generators and signal analyzers to
automate the measurements for amplifiers. It also provides information
regarding the basics of the pre-defined test parameters.
Design And Performance Of A Low-Noise High Dynamic Range WiMAX LNA
By Chew-Ean Tan, Avago Technologies
In a WiMAX network, a receiver chain designed with low noise and a high dynamic range ensures reliable performance of the transceiver. This article explains a simple, low-cost, and space-saving approach to address these issues by using a GaAs pHEMT-based low-noise amplifier (LNA) with an integrated bypass
switch.
