Webcast EDA seminar- RF Power Amplifier Design: Using Load Pull for Optimal Performance

Title: RF Power Amplifier Design Part 1: Using Simulated and Measured Load Pull for Optimal PerformanceDate: November 3, 2011
Time: 10 AM PT/ 1 PM ET/ 5 PM UTC 北京时间 2011年11月4日 凌晨1点
Presented by: Agilent Technologies
Presenter: Andy Howard, Senior Applications Engineer, Agilent TechnologiesWebcast Description:

RF Power Amplifier Design is possibly the most challenging RF design task. In Part 1 of this multi-part RF Power Amplifier Design Webcast Series, we begin with a key technique for attaining optimal PA performance, Load Pull Analysis. Determining optimal loads is the first step in maximizing your RF power amplifier design’s performance. This webcast will introduce you to many techniques which could save you weeks of time, identify bad designs early and turn a good design into a great one.

Topics covered include:

Choosing the best bias point for optimal performance

Determining the best load and source impedances

Fundamental as well as harmonic load pull analysis

Examine sensitivity of your completed design to external source and load variations

Designing for best performance at X-dB gain compression or a specific power delivered

Power-added efficiency (PAE), distortion and delivered power tradeoffs

Determining optimal loads across a band of frequencies

Andy Howard, Senior Applications Engineer, and creator of the ADS Power Amplifier and Load Pull DesignGuides will cover these and more in this 60 minute webcast. Attendees will be provided with a detailed application note and the latest pre-release version of the Load Pull DesignGuide used in this webcast.
