Overview
- Describes methods for designing and evaluating/optimizing the performance characteristics of an RF amplifier that circumvent the issues involved with existing, traditional methods and don’t require expensive, high-end software tools
- Includes C language executables for each RF amplifier type, eliminating errors that might creep in while computing passive component (capacitor, inductor, resistor) values for a given RF amplifier type
- Demonstrates industry-standard load- and source-pull schemes that can be included easily in text SPICE netlists, allowing accurate calculation of impedance matching and impedance values at the input and output ports of the test RF amplifier, eliminating messy, error-prone S parameter based calculations
