Power Amplifier

This page contains improvements to the AWR Design Environment for PA designers.


Perform advanced PA validation by analyzing the impact of source impedance and harmonic impedances.

Source Pull

The project will open to the source pull data-display page and simulate.

  1. Drag the markers around as indicated on the on screen instructions to explore the source pull data.

Harmonic Load Pull

The project will open to the advanced contrours data-display page and simulate.

  1. Drag the markers around as indicated on the on screen instructions to explore the impact of the second and third harmonic on performance.

Guarantee your PA performance with modulated-signal load pull.

Load Pull with Modulated Signals

The project will open to show the System Load Pull Template used to generate the modulated signal load pull data and the resulting ACPR contours.

  1. Point out the Load_Pull_System_Template is used to perform modulated signal load pull with the Load Pull Script.
  2. The ACPR contours are from an already simulated modulated signal load pull.
  3. Reference the Design Notes for more information on system load pull.

Verify PA performance with modulated signals directly in Microwave Office.

Circuit Envelope

The demo opens the project, tiles the windows, and simulates to show a multi-carrier QPSK source simulated using APLAC circuit envelope.

License requirements: Circuit Envelope (APL-110)

  1. Note that Circuit Envelope allows data to be plotted in either the frequency domain or the time domain.
