PA/FEM Measurement Guide: Testing PAs under High-Power Conditions

The power amplifier (PA) is a crucial component in every RF transmitter. Operating a PA efficiently while ensuring reliable communication can be a tough task. Due to the unique operating conditions and the data desired from these high-performance parts, high-power PA test requires careful consideration.

Designers, applications engineers, characterization engineers, and production test engineers all require solutions specific to their roles. NI offers an extensive portfolio of high-power PA test hardware and software tailored to meet the needs of engineers in all phases of the design and manufacturing process.

Learn more about the test considerations around high-power PAs and how the steps taken in validation of these devices can be different from PAs that operate at lower power levels.
