This article focuses on the physical layer (“Layer 1”) characteristics of the LTE uplink, describing the new Single-Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) transmission scheme and some of the measurements associated with it. Understanding the details of this new transmission scheme and measurements is a vital step towards developing LTE UE designs and getting them to market.
Evolving market requirements are demanding a higher level of performance from resistive products. Aside from the challenge of dissipating higher power levels in a smaller footprint, passive components must also operate under high peak-power stresses. As radio detection and ranging (RADAR) becomes more prevalent in various industries, including the commercial sector, peak power requirements will continue to evolve and hopefully at some point become standard. In addition to today’s traditional RADAR applications, many modern communication applications exploit various properties of burst transmission, which can have significant peak power levels requiring processing. This requirement has generated a market need for passive products designed and manufactured specifically to dissipate high-peak power events, for the life of the product. The objective of this paper is to describe high-power test methodologies as related to Florida RF Labs resistive products, with an emphasis on pulsed power. This paper will provide a primer on high power passive product construction, specification and test methodologies for acceptance.
