The gain of the DUT was measured between port RFin and RFout of the EVB at the GPS
frequency 1575 MHz, while simultaneously a jammer power signal was swept at the 20
dB attenuated input port of the Directional Coupler. Please note that the drive power of
the jammer is 20 dB lower at the input of the DUT caused by the directional coupler.
The figures below show the supply-current (Icc) and gain compression curves with 850
MHz and 1850 MHz jammers. At 1 dB Gain drop the Jammer-Generator read out for 850
MHz jammer is +7 dBm (Vcc = 1.8 V). Taking into account the approx 20 dB
attenuation of the directional coupler this means P
i(1dB)
= –12.1 dBm (
Fig 8
). For 1850
MHz the Jammer-Generator read out is +10.9 dBm (Vcc = 1.8 V. Taking into account the
approx 20 dB attenuation of the directional coupler this means P
i(1dB)
= – 9.4 dBm).
