Frequently asked questions

Q: You're commissioning a 3.5 GHz 5G small cell PA and searching "ACLR worsens when digital predistortion enabled power electronics control" after the adjacent operator reports interference; when DPD is turned on, EVM improves but ACLR at ±30 MHz gets 4 dB worse, so what change downstream actually fixes it?

A: Increasing adaptation gain tends to chase noise and widens spectral regrowth under fast fading. Raising drain voltage shifts AM–PM but usually pushes memory effects harder at the band edges. More aggressive CFR lowers peaks but injects wideband distortion that shows up exactly where ACLR is measured. Narrowing the DPD model to just beyond occupied bandwidth limits out-of-band overfitting so the correction energy stays where the mask is tight.

Q: You're on a deadline and googling "estimate switching loss GaN inverter at 650V 200kHz back of envelope" to sanity-check a thermal alarm; for a 650 V GaN half-bridge switching 12 A at 200 kHz with 20 ns rise and fall each, what order-of-magnitude switching loss per device do you expect?

A: At 650 V and 12 A the overlap energy isn't negligible, so 1 W undershoots by an order. Counting only turn-on ignores a comparable turn-off term at these edges. Using V·Irms·D is a conduction model and inflates loss with the wrong physics. Half V times I times total transition time per edge, doubled for on and off then scaled by 200 kHz, lands in the high-teens watt range.

Q: After power-up you're searching "LLC resonant converter no load overvoltage control symptom" because the 48 V output jumps to 62 V at light load and the controller hits OVP intermittently; what root cause best matches this pattern?

A: Rectifier timing issues show up as heating and efficiency loss more than a clean overvoltage spike. Magnetizing drift is slow and tracks temperature, not immediate light-load jumps. Dead-time errors raise loss and noise but don't selectively overshoot only at no load. Skip-cycle operation moves the effective switching point into a high-gain region of the LLC tank, letting the output rise until OVP clamps it.

Q: You're tuning a grid-tied inverter and type "increase PLL bandwidth effect on weak grid current control" after seeing oscillations; when PLL bandwidth is increased from 20 Hz to 80 Hz on a weak grid with SCR ≈ 2, what happens and what's the right response?

A: A faster PLL on a weak grid injects angle noise into the current controller and erodes phase margin. Tracking distorted voltage makes the inverter follow harmonics rather than reject them. DC-link dynamics are dominated by power flow and won't be fixed by PLL speed. Lowering PLL bandwidth or using a decoupled scheme limits angle perturbations feeding the current loop.
