Applying Nonlinear RF Device Modeling To Verify S-Parameter Linearity
نویسنده
چکیده
On the other hand, many modeling engineers still have some problems in understanding the basics of such nonlinear RF modeling. Applying a harmonic balance simulator like Agilent's ADS is a smart way to begin with some studies of the non-linear performance of devices and their corresponding model behavior, even when there are currently no measurement capabilities at hand in the modeling engineer's measurement lab. This presentation is intended to explain the basics of "what's behind S-parameters" from a modeling engineer's standpoint and on how to apply harmonic balance simulators to check the validity of device models.

Output-Conductance Transition-Free Method for Improving Radio-Frequency Linearity of SOI MOSFET Circuits
In this article, a novel concept is introduced to improve the radio frequency (RF) linearity of partially-depleted (PD) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MOSFET circuits. The transition due to the non-zero body resistance (RBody) in output conductance of PD SOI devices leads to linearity degradation. A relation for RBody is defined to eliminate the transition and a method to obtain transition-free c...
متن کاملConsiderations on nonlinearity measurement with high signal-to-noise ratio for RF SAW/BAW devices SAW/BAW
Introduction of new communication standards makes specifications given to RF surface and bulk acoustic wave (SAW/BAW) devices tougher and tougher. For example, futher improvement of the device linearity is demanded without increasing the device size. Nevertheless, it is still unclear where and how the non-linearity occurs. For finding origin(s) of the very weak non-linearity, its measurement sy...
متن کاملAdaptive Nonlinear RF Cancellation for Improved Isolation in Simultaneous Transmit-Receive Systems
This paper proposes an active radio frequency (RF) cancellation solution to suppress the transmitter (TX) passband leakage signal in radio transceivers supporting simultaneous transmission and reception. The proposed technique is based on creating an opposite-phase baseband equivalent replica of the TX leakage signal in the transceiver digital front-end through adaptive nonlinear filtering of t...

This paper analyzes the linearity and resolution requirements of RF modules and AD converter in full-duplex radio transceivers. It is shown that the linearity of the transmit and receive chains can easily limit the device operation, thus motivating for efficient linear and nonlinear self-interference suppression in the overall receiver chain. Also AD converter requirements can become an impleme...
متن کاملImplications of HTS Film Linearity on RF Coil Design and Assessment at 9.4 T
INTRODUCTION High-temperature superconducting (HTS) Helmholtz coil pairs have been shown to provide substantial increases in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for applications in NMR and MR microscopy (1, 2). One limitation of HTS coils is that their non-linear response to applied power produces distortion of shaped RF pulses (3). Through the use of a previously reported field mapping technique (4) m...
