This page provides a resource for understanding and calculating RF AM to PM conversion. It’s part of a larger section on converters and calculators relevant to RF (Radio Frequency) applications.

Understanding AM to PM Conversion

AM to PM conversion, alongside AM to AM conversion, are crucial parameters in assessing the non-linearity of an RF amplifier within a transceiver.

  • AM to PM Conversion: Refers to the phase drift of the input signal that results in amplitude variations in the output signal.
  • AM to AM Conversion: Refers to the amplitude drift of the input signal that causes amplitude variations in the output signal.

In essence, AM to PM conversion describes how changes in the amplitude of the input signal affect the phase of the output signal. This is an important consideration for maintaining signal integrity in RF systems.
