scope:
Practice:
Analyses are performed early in the design of radio frequency (RF) hardware to determine hardware imposed limitations which affect radio performance. These limitations include distortion, bandwidth constraints, transfer function non-linearity, non-zero rise and fall transition time, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) degradation. The effects of these hardware performance impediments are measured and recorded. Performance evaluation is a reliability concern because RF hardware performance is sensitive to thermal and other environmental conditions, and reliability testing is constrained by RF temperature limitations.
