Example Envelope Tracking (ET) Measurements

Envelope tracking measurements are used to evaluate the improvements of power efficiency and output signal performance after using envelope tracking. For a PA, envelope tracking and digital pre-distortion can be used together. In this example, only envelope tracking is applied to the PA under test.

The whole measurement process includes the following three parts.

  1. Setting up the measurement system

  2. Configuring parameters in the N7614B software

  3. Executing the measurement and viewing results
