To investigate the temperature dependency of the specifications for Power Amplifiers (PAs), the performance degradations of an IC PA under different temperature conditions are investigated experimentally. The experimental results show that the performance degradations of the PA are sensitive to temperature changes. The main reasons for these degradations are discussed and analyzed in this paper. The research performed in the study provides another angle to handle the practical working environments rather than the extreme cases as the reliability study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
