Connecting the Hardware for Power-Added Efficiency Measurements
Perform the procedure in this section when setting up your hardware to perform power-added efficiency measurements.
- Connect the OUTPUT port of the hardware to the input power port of the DUT.
- Connect the RF OUT or IF IN/OUT 0 port of the vector signal transceiver (VST) to the input port of the DUT using an SMA cable.
- Connect the output port of the DUT to the RF IN or IF IN/OUT 1 port of the VST using an SMA cable.
