Rohde & Schwarz Envelope Tracking; R&S®SGT-K510 and R&S®SGT-K16 required Existing SGTs with SN < 102000 cannot be retrofitted with the required hardware for analog IQ outputs. (software license)
The R&S®SGT-K510 Envelope Tracking is a software license option for the R&S®SGT100A Vector RF Source. This option enables envelope tracking functionality, which is essential for testing and characterizing power amplifiers with dynamic supply voltage. The R&S®SGT-K510 requires the R&S®SGT-K16 (Analog IQ Output) option to be installed. It is important to note that existing SGT units with serial numbers below 102000 cannot be retrofitted with the necessary hardware for analog IQ outputs, and thus are not compatible with this option. The envelope tracking feature allows for advanced signal generation capabilities, supporting modern wireless communication standards and improving test accuracy for power amplifier efficiency.
