Power Amplifier Design and Application

•Goals
–Design for Range Extension and Throughput Enhancement
•Methodologies
–Optimize the maximum output power versus EVM of PA model by changing single-tone, dual-tone and/or multi-tone (OFDM/mQAM) parameters
–Fine-tune the source/load pulling of PA prototype by adjusting tuners and signal/interference/noise generators
• Metrics
–Linearity, Bandwidth, Bias, EVM, Maximum Output Power, Power Consumption, Heat Dissipation, EMI Shielding
