HARMONIC TUNING OF POWER TRANSISTORS BY ACTIVE LOAD-PULL MEASUREMENT

A powerful and affordable tool for nonlinear on-wafer measurements in the 0.5 to 18 GHz frequency range that is useful for designing high efficiency power amplifiers for mobile communications
TECHNICAL FEATURE HARMONIC TUNING OF POWER TRANSISTORS BY ACTIVE LOAD-PULL MEASUREMENT Abstract: A nonlinear network analyzer combined with an active multiharmonic load-pull system is described. Data acquisition uses an HP 71500 microwave transition analyzer (MTA) and force/sense bias supplies. Complete tuning and monitoring of the incoming and outgoing signals...
