HLAD.01

The HLA-D.01 module is an RF evaluation and development kit, board, and software designed for developing, testing and evaluating low-voltage MOSFETs for RF applications. It features an intelligent user interface and a wide operating range from VIN=0.2V to 5V.

As a critical component for RF applications, the module can be used to test, analyze and verify the performance of the components according to the applicable specifications. It can be applied to various high-frequency components such as amplifiers, multi-stage amplifiers, up-converters, couplers, duplexers, etc. With a comprehensive user interface, powerful test specific programs, accurate data measurements, the module can analyze the component’s performance easily and quickly.

The working principle of the module is based on the three-oscillator topology, which consists of a charge pump, a low noise amplifier (LNA), and an oscillator (OSC). The module employs an open loop, voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) to sense the small changes in the input voltage and then provide an output signal accordingly. The OSC drives the LNA to produce the desired output power level. The charge pump is used to regulate the energy levels of the oscillator so as to maintain the body bias at the correct level.

The module is designed with an internal temperature sensor to detect and record the temperature of the component under test. This helps in deriving the hot and cold performance parameters of the component at different temperatures. The component is then tested at different operating voltages and frequencies. This allows the user to evaluate the performance of the component as it is being tested or simulated.

The module is also capable of measuring the input and output voltage levels as well as the voltage margin between them. This helps to determine the accuracy of the VCO tuning and the sensitivity of the LNA. In addition, it is also possible to measure the power consumption of the component under test, which would provide a good indication of the power efficiency of the component.

The HLA-D.01 module is an extremely versatile product, suitable for both low-end and high-end performance testing and evaluation. With its comprehensive user interface and powerful test specific programs, it is ideal for testing and evaluating RF systems for a variety of applications.
