VIOMAP, the S-parameter Equivalent for Weakly Nonlinear RF and Microwave Devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the Volterra input-output map as an extension of the S-parameters towards weakly nonlinear RF and microwave devices. This ‘VIOMAP’ can be measured and it can be used to predict the behavior of cascaded nonlinear twoports.

Electroceuticals are medical devices that employ electric signals to alter the activity of specific nerve fibers to achieve therapeutic effects. The rapid growth of RF microelectronics has resulted in the development of very small, portable, and inexpensive shortwave and microwave radio frequency (RF) amplifiers, raising the possibility of utilizing these new RF technologies to develop non-cont...
متن کاملAwr’s Support of Polyharmonic Distortion and Nonlinear Behavioral Models
Linear and nonlinear device models are the building blocks of most RF and microwave designs. S-parameters are often used to represent linear devices. As a “black-box” model, they can easily be obtained using a vector network analyzer and distributed for simulation. S-parameters use superposition to equate the linear relationship between incident and refl ected waves at all of the device’s ports...
متن کاملInfluence of LaAlO3 surface topography on rf current distribution in superconducting microwave devices
A laser scanning microscope with a thermal spot size of about 4 mm is used to measure a quantity proportional to the rf current density in an operating superconducting coplanar waveguide microwave resonator. The twinning of the LaAlO3 substrate produces a meandering of the current at the edges due to irregularities in the wet etching of the YBa2Cu3O72d film associated with substrate twin domain...
