High frequency waveform engineering and its applications: Tutorial 54

This article has presented the fundamental concepts behind waveform engineering and its usefulness in modern RFPA design. It subsequently discussed a typical architecture of a high frequency waveform measurement system and then presented the required calibration approach. A section on the impedance tuning element dealt with the changes required in a typical waveform measurement system for carrying out waveform engineering. The article finally discussed three interesting applications of waveform engineering which have either brought or have the potential to bring a paradigm shift in RFPA design techniques.
