Pulse Analysis on ESA
Perform Pulse Analysis on ESA
The reference architecture’s modular hardware and IP library for ESA demonstrates how to perform pulse analysis, such as pulse profile and pulse stability, to properly characterize power amplifiers and transmit/receive modules.
S-Parameters on ESA Using VST
Direct RF Measurement
The ESA Characterization Reference Architecture helps you perform flexible S-parameter measurements using CW and pulsed waveforms on the same hardware as large signal analysis with a VST. You can combine S-parameters with other tests and simplify integration using a single reconfigurable, modular system.
Power-Added Efficiency on ESA
Measure PAE on ESA Components
The reference architecture IP simplifies integration of DC and RF measurements in both interactive examples and programmatic APIs for power added efficiency (PAE) measurements.
Automate ESA measurements with TestStand
Automate ESA Measurements
The ESA Characterization Reference Architecture show you how to automate common measurements such as power-added efficiency using TestStand so that you can perform measurements over power and frequency.
