Amplifier modeling and linearization

This is a discontinued product

Please note the following successor product(s):

Overview

Key facts

Measurement of the distortion behavior of amplifiers, mixers and transposers and also direct control of the required measuring instruments, such as signal generators and signal analyzers, via IEC/IEEE bus, LAN or USB.

Brief description

The R&S^®FS-K130PC distortion analysis software measures and models the linear and nonlinear distortions of amplifiers, mixers and baseband components. This simplifies and accelerates the development of linearized components, such as power amplifiers.

Features

Flexible display and selection of measurement results in configurable windows
Easy to operate; all operating steps shown in block diagram style
Integrated control of signal generators and signal analyzers via IEC/IEEE bus, LAN or USB

Key facts

Measurement of the distortion behavior of amplifiers, mixers and transposers and also direct control of the required measuring instruments, such as signal generators and signal analyzers, via IEC/IEEE bus, LAN or USB
Calculation of the coefficients of a distortion model for DUTs with and without memory in accordance with the different selectable models (polynomial or VOLTERRA)
- polynomial
- memory polynomial
- Volterra
- spline
Calculation of the coefficients for predistortion
Verification of the spectral regrowth improvement achieved
