<p><em><span lang="EN-US">射频设计验证工程师可以从其射频工作台轻松测试最先进的双频段线性化IP</span></em></p>
<p><strong><span>加利福尼亚州<span lang="EN-US">CARLSBAD</span>市<span lang="EN-US">-2021</span>年<span lang="EN-US">2</span>月<span lang="EN-US">23</span>日</span></strong><span lang="EN-US">-MaxLinear,Inc. (NYSE: MXL) </span><span>和<span lang="EN-US">NI (NYSE: NATI) </span>宣布将<span lang="EN-US">MaxLinear</span>的双频射频功率放大器<span lang="EN-US">(PA)</span>线性化算法集成到<span lang="EN-US">NI</span>的<span lang="EN-US">RFIC</span>测试软件中。这一集成可以对新的宽带蜂窝网络基础设施的功率放大器设计进行广泛的验证，从而提高功率效率并降低非线性影响。<span lang="EN-US">NI</span>集成且高度同步的射频测试平台结合<span lang="EN-US">MaxLinear</span>同类最佳的新型线性化<span lang="EN-US">IP</span>，为设计验证工程师提供了一种简化的测试和测量方法，可以显着降低<span lang="EN-US">ACLR</span>、改善<span lang="EN-US">EVM</span>、并具备充分的功率效率优势。</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">5G</span><span>网络的推进触发了需要支持连续和不连续宽带载波聚合配置的多频段无线电部署的快速增长。这些新的射频前端设计共享单个高带宽功率放大器和信号路径，从而实现可观的成本和尺寸的节省。然而，为了实现最大的能源效率，工程师需要将这些宽带功率放大器驱动到非线性工作状态，并了解如何最大程度地减小泄漏到相邻信道中的射频能量的不良影响。</span></p>
<p><span>为应对这一挑战，<span lang="EN-US">NI</span>的<span lang="EN-US">RFIC</span>测试软件将<span lang="EN-US">MaxLinear</span>的尖端宽带线性化技术与最新的<span lang="EN-US">DC</span>、数字、模拟和<span lang="EN-US">RF PXI</span>仪器集成在一起，从而实现整合的、更高效的、单发射无线电链架构，最大程度地减少向相邻通道的泄漏。</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">MaxLinear</span><span>无线技术和<span lang="EN-US">IP</span>副总裁<span lang="EN-US"> Helen Kim</span>表示：“应对宽带蜂窝系统的一个非常困难但核心的挑战，我们的线性化<span lang="EN-US">IP</span>与<span lang="EN-US">NI</span>平台的集成带来了快速创新。为工程师提供简化功率放大器验证的工具可以补充我们的目标<span lang="EN-US">-</span>大幅降低当今<span lang="EN-US">4G</span>和<span lang="EN-US">5G </span>射频无线电单元所消耗的大量功率。”</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">NI</span><span>半导体业务部高级总监<span lang="EN-US">Jesse Lyles</span>说：“我们一直在通过自动化设备验证来帮助客户加快产品开发的步伐。显然，节能的<span lang="EN-US">5G</span>部署需要功能更强大的验证解决方案。与<span lang="EN-US">MaxLinear</span>合作，我们可以提供客户所需的验证解决方案、以加快产品上市时间。我们很高兴通过<span lang="EN-US">MaxLinear</span>的线性化算法来增强<span lang="EN-US">NI</span>的<span lang="EN-US">RFIC</span>应用，以创造更好的射频设备性能。</span></p>
