Peak envelope power measurements for mobile communications: A preliminary study

This paper reports recent theoretical modeling and analysis of traceable peak envelope power measurements for mobile communications. Double Sideband Large Carrier (DSB-LC) amplitude modulation has been used, for establishing the measurement traceability to primary RF and microwave power standard. In this work, the reference peak envelope power calculated from modulation index and reference average power is used in calibrations. This is followed by performance comparison of the proposed model with detailed uncertainty analysis.
