TEST & MEASUREMENT APPLICATION NOTES AND WHITE PAPERS

• RF Amplifier Output Voltage, Current, Power, And Impedance Relationship

  How much output voltage, current, and power can you expect from your amplifier? In rare cases, this can be answered by applying Ohm’s law, assuming that the net power or power delivered to the load is the rated power output of the amplifier. In most cases, practical issues such as VSWR and forward power concerns must be considered before applying Ohm’s law. This application note addresses this issue and discusses an approach to be used that applies actual test data when calculating output parameters.

• Ray-Optical Modeling Of Wireless Coverage Enhancement Using Engineered Electromagnetic Surfaces

  In this paper, results are presented of propagation experiments conducted to verify the accuracy of a novel ray-optical scattering model for EES.

• 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.

• 5G New Radio Over-The-Air Base Station Receiver Tests

  This application note describes all mandatory RF receiver tests, according to the Release 16 (V16.3.0). It also offers a brief introduction about the different R&S OA antenna test solutions and how they are applicable for base station conformance testing.
