How to extract Unilateral High Frequency memory (U-HF) model for Mixer (MIX). The MIX-U-HF model is the simplest nonlinear mixer model. Extracting this model requires little information about the component, i.e. 1-tone CW measurements, performed on a nominal load impedance. It therefore takes into account only the dispersive effects present in the operating band of the mixer and ignores other memory effects such as those due to polarization or heating. It is a fixed LO signal model. Only the LO frequency variations are taken into account. This model does not take into account load impedance changes.
This tutorial presents a feature that enables automatic configuration of schematics in System Architect for testing HPA and LNA models. The user will be able to run pre-configured simulations to test the model with 2-tone signals, a 5G signal and possibly load-pull simulations. This feature is available for all HPA models and LNA-B-HF model.
