In base station power amplifier design, the suppliers of active devices often detail only the base frequency performance. Mesuro has shown that by studying and including the harmonics into a design, peak efficiencies of a single device can be improved from around 50-60% to above 80%. The resulting baseline performance translates directly into significantly improved average efficiencies. Testing at the R&D stage extends the knowledge of performance enabling our customers to:

• Reduce radio network operating costs
• Improve power amplifier efficiency, therefore, reducing power consumption
• Reduce engineering effort to solve integration issues
• Enhance integration of driver and power amplifiers
• Impedance match the antenna resulting in significantly better base station performance
• Optimum incorporation of the (modulated) DC supply into designs
