Load pull

Let me transition over to Dr. Egbert and talk more about this.

One of the ways that we, if you will, tune the power amplifier is with a technique called load pull.

And usually a bunch of experiments are required in order to do load pull.

Without using techie words or math, what are you adjusting? What are you tuning? And why is the conventional load pull taking so long? Then we're going to get, after you explain, we're going to get the use of AI and actually mitigating this problem.

Yeah, so if it's all right, I may introduce one techie word, but I promise I'll explain what it means.

But that's the concept of impedance.

sort of mismatch occur as you go from one component to another component, you'll end up with reflections of the power that you're trying to generate and also transmission of that power that you're trying to generate in between these different components as you go along.

And certain impedances will be better matched to the amplifier to give you your efficiency and output power and things like that.
