Keysight Technologies RF Power Amplifier Test, Reference Solution Solution Brochure The RF power amplifier test, reference solution provides a unique combination of test speed and throughput with trusted and consistent measurements for cellular and wireless connectivity formats. Introduction RF power amplifier (PA) test challenges Wireless mobile device manufacturers continue to face pressures to simultaneously reduce cost and increase data throughput without sacrific- ing battery life. These requirements create conflicting challenges for test engineers because they must reduce overall test system cost and test times despite adding complex test techniques such as envelope tracking (ET). These techniques are required to optimize RF PA power efficiency which add to test system cost. Testing RF PAs with ET brings new challenges:
