5.2.12.3 Power Added Efficiency (PAE) dialog
The "Power Added Efficiency (PAE)" dialog configures the measurement of the PAE of
an active 2-port device.
PAE plugin
●
The PAE measurement is preinstalled on instruments shipped with FW V2.15 or
higher. For older instruments, it is available as a separate installer that can be
downloaded from the R&S ZNA firmware page, and that is supported with FW
V2.15 or higher.
●
The PAE measurement requires an external power supply R&S HMP2030 that is
connected to the R&S ZNA via USB.
●
There are no dedicated remote commands for the PAE measurements. Instead,
the measurement parameters are provided as:
– trace definition parameter "Src Port" in the Trace Definition Dialog
– "Additional Input" string in the Trace Definition Dialog and External DLL Config-
uration Dialog (for permanent tasks).
Access: Trace – [Meas] > "S-Params" > "External DLL" > "Power Added Efficiency"
