•
Fluke 87 multimeter for input current
•
50dB 500W attenuator as load
•
Spectrum analyzer: RIGOL DSA 815
•
Power meter: GiGa 8542C
•
Thermal meter, sensor is located at screw of copper coin
Note: The WPT test setup is normally a non-
50Ω system.
If the PA is tested under a non-50
Ω
system, the
measurement results may not correlate with 5
0Ω
system due to the mismatch.
Hardware Operation
The following steps provide a guideline for proper hardware operation and configuration.
1)
First, set the current limit to 0.3A for the +5V
DC
supply feeding JP35 or J28.
2)
Set the current limit to 1A for the HV DC supply feeding J32 or J28 at a voltage of between
+20V
DC
and +50V
DC
.
3)
Verify that all DC power supplies are turned off.
4)
Make sure the load is connected to JP56 or JP57.
5)
Verify the Class EF2 waveform via test points TP8, TP81 with J32 +5V
DC.
6)
Connect the V
DD
power supply to J32 or J28. Apply b4V to +20V
DC
to J32. Read the output
power at JP56 or JP57.
7)
Turn on the HV supply to the desired value. Do not exceed the absolute maximum voltage of
+100V
DC
. Keep the J32 +5V
DC
on.
8)
To power the evaluation board down, reverse the steps above.
Measurement Technique
When measuring the high frequency content switch node, care must be taken to avoid long ground
leads. Measure the switch node by placing the oscilloscope probe tip at JP192 and JP193 (designed for
this purpose) or to the closest ground screws. Refer to Figure 15
for the proper probe technique.
