RF power amplifier standard compliance verification

RF power amplifier standard compliance verification

The importance of standard compliance verification

Beyond standard RF amplifier verification, standard compliance verification helps you understand how each component handles the target application and a specific signal. Applications range from radar to satellite communications, the industrial internet of things (IIoT) and 5G NR FR2. Each test signal has its own impact on the RF frontend due to its specific signal characteristics.

Different applications require different optimization targets, such as maximum output power while not exceeding a set distortion level, or optimum linearity. Rohde & Schwarz offers test and measurement solutions that help with standard compliance verification.
