PERFORMANCE AND RF MEASUREMENTS
Measurement is done using a CW (single tone) signal
unless specified otherwise.
Data was taken using an automated characterization
system, ensuring repeatable measurements.
The reference design was tuned with a trade--off between
linearity and efficiency. Other tuning optimizations are
possible.
