Overview

EN 60747-16-1:2002 - Semiconductor devices - Part 16-1: Microwave integrated circuits - Amplifiers is a European/CLC adoption in the EN/IEC 60747 family that defines terminology, essential ratings and characteristics, and the measuring methods applicable to integrated circuit microwave power amplifiers. The standard helps ensure consistent specification, testing and reporting of microwave IC amplifiers used in RF and microwave systems.

Key Topics

The standard focuses on practical, measurable aspects of microwave integrated circuit amplifiers, including:

• Terminology: Standardized definitions for microwave amplifier concepts and parameters to avoid ambiguity in specifications.
• Essential ratings: Electrical and RF ratings required for product specification (e.g., power handling and input/output levels).
• Performance characteristics: Commonly reported amplifier metrics such as gain, bandwidth, efficiency, linearity and noise-related characteristics, framed for consistent interpretation.
• Measuring methods: Agreed procedures and test conditions for measuring the essential ratings and characteristics so results are reproducible and comparable between laboratories and manufacturers.
• Documentation and reporting: Requirements for how results and device data should be presented to support procurement and design decisions.

(Notes: wording above reflects the standard’s declared scope - terminology, essential ratings/characteristics, and measurement methods - rather than prescriptive test setups or numeric limits.)

Applications

EN 60747-16-1:2002 is used wherever consistent, repeatable characterization of microwave integrated circuit amplifiers is required:

• Semiconductor manufacturers - to define product datasheets and internal qualification tests for microwave power amplifiers.
• Design engineers - to select or compare microwave IC amplifiers for wireless base stations, satellite communications, radar, and other RF/microwave systems.
• Test laboratories - to perform standardized measurements that are comparable across vendors and geographies.
• Procurement and quality assurance - to write specifications and acceptance criteria based on standard definitions and measurement methods.
• Regulatory and compliance teams - to align device documentation with recognized European/IEC practices.

Related Standards

• EN/IEC 60747 series (Semiconductor devices) - other parts address different device types and test methods.
• Other RF/microwave measurement and characterization standards published by IEC, ETSI or IEEE may be referenced for test setups and calibration best practices.

Keywords: EN 60747-16-1:2002, microwave integrated circuits, microwave power amplifiers, semiconductor devices, measuring methods, amplifier ratings, RF amplifier characteristics.
