Does Feeder Loss Really Reduce RF Power Amplifier Gain?

Feeder loss can cut antenna-input power without reducing module gain. See where the loss occurs before rejecting, overdriving, or oversizing the RF PA.

How to Verify RF PA Hot-State Gain Before Acceptance

RF PA hot-state gain can fail after a cold sweep passes. Verify Pin, Pout, temperature, voltage, load, protection state, and uncertainty before acceptance.

How to Equalize Output Across Multiple RF PA Modules

RF PA equalization can make faulty paths look acceptable. Check Pin, corrected Pout, reference plane, VSWR, heat, and decision rules before final approval.
