ADRV9029/26 EVB Power

The full scale output power of the TRX is as below:

You can use Tx. attenuation control to change the Tx power.

BTW,Where from are you referring to +/-6dBm?

Dear Ramarao

Many thanks for your answer, but max what i can obtained of board -10 dbm whem i used the waveform or 2 tones abd ATT =0 for TX1.

What is the raw ACLR of the PA? How much correction are you getting?

Can you please provide us the DPD tracking config. parameters and the DPD statistics?

What is the ORX gain Index?

Can you please test at 3dB backoff from the target power and check the DPD performance?

Hi Rammaro

Many thank for your help,DPD is working now.

Please could you guide me how can i receive signal from Signal generator--->ADRV board(RX)------>ADRV board TX port by using GUI.

Best Regards

Please use the attached script for the Rx to Tx loop back. If you are measuring EVM, make sure to swap the IQ in Spectrum Analyser.

Many thanks,

the steps will be

1- run the .py scripts

2-Run DPD after that.

Best Regards

Yes. Could you please let me know what are you trying to test/ achieve with the loop back test? Are you trying to measure the RX performance? If so, i would advice to test at the Tx out of the chip rather testing at PA out.

Hi 

I tried to make DPD work with 5G signal BW100 MHz

the problem I tried to generate signal by using MATLAB but look like the signal has distortion therefore i change my cct. to  

I try to approve the concept of DPD work with 5G

Best Regards

Hi Rammarao

Many thanks for your help,I can pass the signal rx tp tx

Hi Ramarao

 when i send the signal direct from signal generator to PA 

but when I send through ADRV I got

You mean directly from the signal generator to the PA input, no ADRV involved? Which Test model is this?

Can you check at lower powers, may be about 3dB backoff and see if the spectrum is fine?

Are you measuring with the same test model as above?

I believe the input signal to Rx. input is within the dynamic range and not saturating the Rx path?

Try to provide RF input somewhere around -25dBm or so at the Rx. input.

before DPD

after DPD

any possibility to increase the correction to obtain -47 or-50 dbc

please?

You may try to change "IF GAIN" from “LOW” to “medium”

Whats your DPD tracking calibration configuration? You can try optimising the parameters such as Regularization value, Peak search window size, change the DPD update mode (2 for GaN PA) etc. Also, you may do a model sweep to identify the best model for your PA

Hi Ramarao

I was going through ADRV9029 data sheet and have found following paragraph page(128):

"The DPD is optimized for power amplifiers with rms output powers in the 250 mW to 10 W range"

I need to used for two amplifiers in a balanced configuration for get 42dBm (ideally), it will be higher than 10w. will DPD be still working for this power level?

Yes, there is no such restriction on the output power level from the DPD perspective. DPD will work for your target output power.

many thanks 

Hi Ramarao

1-DPD tracking calibration configuration?  how many mode for calibration we have

2- how to set the "Regularization value"? Please

3- How to set the "Peak search window size"?

Best Regards

Hi aarontah

How to change IF GAIn to Low?Please

Best Regards
