Impedance Matching with Vector-Receiver Load Pull

Impedance Matching with Vector-Receiver Load Pull

Improve the performance of your amplifier designs with faster and more accurate impedance matching

Load pull is the technique used to determine the ideal matching impedances required to maximize power transfer, output power, gain and efficiency in your amplifier designs. With vector-receiver load pull, the scalar measurement instruments traditionally used are replaced by a vector network analyzer. Vector-receiver load pull allows you to make faster, more accurate assessments of the optimum matching impedances required for your amplifier designs.

Maury Microwave provides a full range of passive, active, hybrid-active and vector-receiver fundamental and harmonic load pull solutions. All of these solutions are designed around the Agilent Technologies PNA-X Series of microwave network analyzers. The PNA-X has wide power range, fast and accurate control of source phase, clean harmonics, wide frequency coverage from 10 MHz to 50 GHz and a flexible test set to allow the connection of ancillary components.

With a vector-receiver load pull solution from Maury and Agilent you can reduce the time and improve the accuracy of your load pull measurements allowing you to optimize the performance of your amplifier designs.
