Power-Added Efficiency Measurement Library Overview
The Power-Added Efficiency Measurement Library (PAEML) is a software add-on that includes integration of DC and RF measurement examples and programmatic APIs, and sub-nanosecond synchronization between PXI modules.
The featured power-added efficiency (PAE) measurement relies on the combined use of PXI Source Measure Units (SMUs) and PXI Vector Signal Transceivers (VSTs) to help you measure the device-under-test (DUT) RF input and output power concerning the DC supply.
Key
Features
Power-Added Efficiency Measurement Library has the following features and capabilities:
- Simultaneously take PAE and PxdB measurements using a VST and SMU
- Operation up to 26.5 GHz (defined by the VST system used)
- Designed to measure PAE and PxdB for pulsed RF and pulsed power supply
- Synchronizes the VST and SMU through the backplane, allowing fast device characterization
