Designing and using RF power amplifiers
When designing and using an RF power amplifier in a dedicated application such as a 5G base station, the system requirements for RF performance concerning EVM, ACLR, linear range, harmonics and output power are given. To ensure compliance with system requirements, Rohde & Schwarz test solutions consider aspects such as beamforming, test speed, intermodulation, noise figure and digital predistortion (DPD).
