SC2200 Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: SC2200
General Description
Benefits
● Ease of Use
The SC2200 evaluation kits (SC2200-EVK) provide the
hardware and software graphical user interface (GUI)
necessary for the evaluation of the SC2200. The SC2200
belongs to the 4th-generation family of RF PA linearizers
(RFPAL) that provide increased integration and functionality
over the previous generations. The SC2200 is a dual-path
linearizer that is a fully-adaptive, RFIN/RFOUT predistortion
linearization solution optimized for a wide range of
amplifiers, power levels, and communication protocols.
It supports 2G to 4G standards (FDD and TDD) from
698MHz to 2700MHz, as well as an expanded range of
signal bandwidths from 60MHz down to 1.2MHz. The
device accepts single-ended RF signals to eliminate
baluns and features a mirrored pinout facilitating design
of both paths. The SC2200 uses the PA output and input
signals to adaptively generate an optimized correction
function to minimize the PA’s distortion. Using RF-domain
analog signal processing enables the SC2200 to operate
over wide bandwidths and with very low power consumption.
The dual linearizer can be used for small cell MIMO,
active antennas, distributed antennas, or in systems
requiring two different simplex bands.
