, that limit the supply voltage V
cc
in the low-power
region and controls the shaping.
The detroughing factor (d) can be set manually or derived from the selected V
cc
value. In the latter case, it is calculated as follows:
d = V
cc,min
/V
cc,max
Couple Detroughing Factor with Vcc
A "Detroughing Factor = 0" defines a linear function.

About the Polynomial Function
The polynomial function is an analytical method to describe a shaping function. The
polynomial function is defined as follows:
f(x) = a
0
+
∑
(a
n
*x
n
), where n
≤
10 and:

Depending on the "Envelope Voltage Adaptation" mode,
f(x)
is:
–
f(x) = V
cc
(x) in "Auto Power"
–
f(x) = V
cc
/V
cc,max
(x) in "Auto Normalized/Manual"

The polynomial order
n
, the polynomial constant

n
are user-definable, see

The default polynomial function with n = 1, a
0
= 0 and a
0
= 1 describes a linear func-
tion.

File format of the polynomial function file
You can store a polynomial function in a file or even define the polynomial coefficients,
store them as a file and load this file into the instrument. The polynomial files are files
with extension
*.iq_poly
.
The file contains an optional header
# Rohde & Schwarz - IQ Output
Envelope Polynomial Coefficients # a0,a1,a2,...
and a list of comma-
separated coefficient values.
