Summary
When designing power amplifiers for communication systems, it is important to meet the ACPR and EVM specifications while delivering a specified output power. This session shows various techniques for running these types of simulations in PathWave Advanced Design System (ADS) and the things you need to consider when performing such simulations
Key learnings:
- How to run simulations with the latest wireless standard signals.
- Simulation speed versus accuracy: trade-offs.
- The newest EVM simulation capabilities in ADS.
- Using Compact Test Signals to speed up simulations.

Andy Howard, Senior Applications Engineer, has been with Keysight since 1985. He graduated from U.C. Berkeley, B.S. E.E., 1983, and M.S. E.E., 1985. He was a visiting researcher for one year in Japan while a graduate student, and is fluent in Japanese. He has published more than 20 magazine articles, HP or Agilent seminar papers, and application notes. He has created hundreds of ADS examples, and is currently focused primarily on various power amplifier simulations (load pull, envelope tracking, optimisations, etc.) He has also worked on several switched-mode power supply simulations.
