With multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) architectures and channel bandwidths up to 160 MHz,testing is complex, especially when measuring RF power per channel and time alignment between channels. The RFM3000 Series enables packet power measurements to be performed independently on multiple synchronous or asynchronous transmit chains with a common timebase shared among sensors. Between marker measurements Use markers to define a portion of the waveform on which to make measurements. Between Marker measurements are ideal for monitoring 1 2 specific portions of a packet over long intervals. m S Peak-to-average power By comparing the peak-to-average power ratio, or crest factor (CF), of input and output signals of an RF transmission chain, engineers can assess circuit linearity. Additional insight can be provided with the RFM3000 Series statistical mode Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF) plot displaying the rate of occurrence of a specific CF. As an amplifier output compresses, the CF will reduce and the CCDF plot will move left. Crest factor Indication of amplifier output compression 2 bkprecision.com
