Overview

Envelope Tracking generates an Envelope Tracking (ET) waveform from an RF waveform so you can play the RF signal from the RF output while simultaneously playing the ET waveform from the IQ output. During playback, you can apply a Shaping Table to the ET waveform to dynamically adjust the envelope characteristics in real time.

The Envelope Tracking feature supports the following capabilities:

Envelope Tracking is available only in Group 1, Signal 1 (Independent configuration).

Supported Channel Configuration and License Requirements

Envelope Tracking supports the following channel configuration depending on the type of signal generator being used.

Configuration Description License Requirements
Multi-Channel Configuration

The ET waveform can be played through Channel 1, while the RF waveform is played through Channel 2.

This setup allows independent control and analysis of the ET and RF signals.

Requires Options AN1, DIQ, and PCH

How to Set Up Hardware for Envelope Tracking

For 2-Channel Setup (ET waveform through IQ ports on Channel 1 and RF waveform through Channel 2)

 

How to Configure and Use Envelope Tracking

  1. Configure channels in the Independent configuration.

  2. Configure the RF Waveform.

    1. In Group 2 > Signal 1 > General tab, select the RF Waveform.

    2. In Group 2 > Signal 1 > Trigger tab:

      1. Set Trigger Source to Global Trigger (Immediate as source).

      2. Perform Sync Alignment if required

      3. Set Trigger Delay to 10ms. This allows you to set negative envelope delay up to -10ms.

      4. Set RF Power.

      5. Enable the RF signal on Channel 2.

  3. Configure and generate the envelope.

    1. In Group1 > Signal 1> General tab, set the Mode to Envelope Tracking.

      If Envelope Tracking mode is not available:
      - Verify the required licenses are installed.
      - Ensure Envelope Tracking is configured on Group 1, Signal 1.
    2. In the Envelope Waveform tab, set Envelope File to one of the following:
      • Generate from Signal - To derive the envelope from the RF waveform.
      • User Defined - To browse and select your own envelope waveform file.
    3. Adjust the Oversampling Ratio (OSR), as needed.
    4. In the Envelope Tracking tab, set the Envelope Output according to your Envelope Tracking channel configuration. This determines how the envelope is routed to the IQ Output ports and how it aligns with the RF path(s).

    5. In the Envelope Tracking tab, click Generate to create the Intermediate File as per the option you set for the envelope File. Alternatively, you can select an existing intermediate file.

      Envelope Tracking requires a valid Intermediate File before the ET signal can be enabled.
  4. Adjust Voltage Settings.

    1. In Group1 > Signal 1 > ETPS Config tab, configure the PA input, ETPS Input, and ETPS Output settings. These settings control how the envelope interacts with the Envelope Tracking Power Supply and the power amplifier.

    2. In the Shaping Table tab, enable and configure the shaping table settings if you want to apply a shaping table to the ET waveform. Use Import to load a shaping table file.

  5. Enable the ET signal in Group 1> Signal 1 > General tab to output the envelope on IQ Out Q.

  6. In Group1 > Signal 1 > Envelope Waveform tab, adjust Envelope Delay to align RF and ET timing. Example: If RF Envelope difference is 3.19 ms, set Envelope Delay to –3.19 ms.
