    Abstract: A method for power amplifier (PA) calibration for an envelope tracking system of a wireless device is disclosed. The method involves measuring an output power of a PA that is a part under test (PUT) at a predetermined input power. Another step includes calculating a gain equal to the output power of the PA divided by the predetermined input power. A next step involves calculating a gain correction by subtracting the calculated gain from a desired gain. Other steps include determining an expected supply voltage for the PA at the desired gain using the gain correction applied to a nominal curve of gain versus PA supply voltage, and then storing the expected supply voltage for the PA versus input power in memory.

    Abstract: A heterojunction bipolar transistor includes a base mesa, an emitter assembly formed over the base mesa, and a base contact. The emitter assembly includes multiple circular sectors. Each circular sector is spaced apart from one another such that a sector gap is formed between radial sides of adjacent circular sectors. The base contact, which is formed over the base mesa, has a central portion and multiple radial members. Each radial member extends outward from the central portion of the base contact along a corresponding sector gap. As such, each of the circular sectors of the emitter assembly is separated by a radial member of the base contact. The number of circular sectors may vary from one embodiment to another. For example, the emitter assembly may have three, four, six, or more circular sectors.

    Abstract: A method for pulsed behavior modeling of a device under test (DUT) using steady state conditions is disclosed. The method includes providing an automated test system (ATS) programmed to capture at least one behavior of the DUT. The ATS then generates a DUT input power pulse that transitions from a predetermined steady state level to a predetermined pulse level and back to the predetermined steady state level. At least one behavior of the DUT is then captured by the ATS while the input power is at the predetermined pulse level. The ATS then steps the predetermined pulse level to a different predetermined pulse level, and the above steps are repeated until a range of predetermined pulse levels is swept. The ATS then steps the predetermined steady state level to a different steady state level, and the above steps are repeated until a range of predetermined steady state levels is swept.
