Modulated output power versus single tone
Nov 13^th, 2010, 2:25am

Hi,

I'm just wondering if the single tone measured gain is identical with the gain measured with a modulated signal.

Let's say I have a PA that has G = 25dB and I drive it with Pin = 0 dBm - single tone at 2GHz. If I then drive it with equivalent WCDMA modulated input signal (Pin = 0 dBm) will I get the same Pout? (assuming the PA is far away from being saturated)
