The close correlation between simulation and measurement enabled them to perform most of the optimising in software before physically implementing it on the board, thus reducing the number of iterations that had to be performed.
“NI AWR Design Environment enhances the designer’s experience by significantly reducing optimisation time,” said Johana Yan, lead engineer at MaXentric. “In addition, in envelope tracking, the ability to simultaneously simulate one’s design at the chip, board, and system level has become paramount in enabling next-generation wideband high-efficiency PA design.’’
