Abstract(in English) We are researching a broadband GaN amplifier for 4G/5G base stations covering a 4GHz band from 800MHz to 4.8GHz. We aim to improve efficiency by operating as a Doherty amplifier or an outphasing amplifier for each frequency band. To investigate characteristics such as output power, gain, efficiency, EVM, etc. while controlling the gate voltage of two GaN HEMTs for each band, broadband amplifiers had the problem of increasing the amount of measurement. A measurement system was constructed by combining a vector transceiver, a source measure unit, and a power sensor in a PXI system for a single-input amplifier, and a program for automatic measurement was developed using LabVIEW and MATLAB. This report describes the details of the measurement system and program. We report on the measurement evaluation results of amplifiers in the 3.8 GHz band.
