Abstract: A method for measuring a sensitivity of a receiver is provided. The method includes: during a first stage, controlling a signal generator to transmit an input test signal to an input node of the receiver, wherein the receiver generates an output test signal on a first output node of the receiver according to the input test signal; calculating a path loss from the input node of the receiver to the first output node of the receiver according to the input test signal and the output test signal; during a second stage, measuring an output noise power on a second output node of the receiver after a load is connected to the input node of the receiver; and calculating the sensitivity of the receiver according to the path loss and the output noise power. The load may be an antenna or a 50-ohm impedance load.

Abstract: A method of reducing memory effect of a power amplifier (PA), for a look-up table (LUT) based memory digital pre-distortion (DPD) circuit of an electronic device is disclosed.
