EVM system design/calculation - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi
Do any of you have a recomendation regarding what software to us for making a link budget showing expected EVM (error vector magnitude).

Input: Should be data like drive level, phase/amplitude ripple in filter, compression point of amplifier and frequency error in mixer

Output: EVM

Sincerely/Pär

Most "budgets" have an assumption of linearity hiding in them somewhere.

The essence of EVM is that the greatest portion results from non-linearity. In fact, the EVM of a signal from different amplifiers with the same third-order intercept point can vary significantly.

Good Luck (and I think you'll need it) !
