Is the below equation valid to calculate RF power amplifier efficiency?
Probe4 is placed right before a resistor where DC voltage component of the amplified RF OUT power is supposed to be measured and Probe2 measures RF power IN.
Thank
Thank you for your answer. I have managed to increase the value to 0.9 mW by adding a microstrip line in series with an inductor in series with a resistor. Is this configuration valid since I have not based it on any available matching circuit configuration ( I just added them arbitrarily)?
When I plotted the dBm(RF_IN) I obtain -9 dBm right after the RF source which is set at 0 dBm (see images below) . I do not understand why I did not obtain 0 dBm in the plot.
Thank you for replying. You are referring to the 0 GHz right? What do you recommend to modify to increase the DC value ?

Also, I am interested only in 2.4 GHz and not the other frequencies. Or is it that for all frequencies the values should be high ?
Thank you for replying. So I have tried to do HB simulation. I modified the circuit as shown below (I removed the 1 nF and 1 MOhm) and added a Term in series with the diode. I obtained 2.999 dBm for the 2.4 GHz. Am I on the right track now? Please advise me if I am not as any suggestion would...
Thank you for replying. The schematic is based on the 2 circuits shown below so from RF OUT we get an amplified signal which should be rectified by the schottky diode in the other circuit shown. I thought it might work but I guess not. Do you have any suggestions on how I should modify the...
In the circuit below (both images are 1 entire circuit), I measured DC voltage at Vout and I obtained 0 V. The circuit is basically a power amplifier + power detector (with schottky diode) for RF source. This is the first time I use keysight ADS and I am not sure where I went wrong.
Thank you for your answer. Is there a way to represent them in proteus schematic ? If not, what software do you recommend to simulate the above circuit?
