A Computational Efficient Method for HBT Intermodulation Distortions and Two-Tone Characteristics Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a new simulation method for two-tone characteristics calculations and the third-order intercept point (OIP3) of heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) in large-scale time domain is proposed. Base on waveform relaxation (WR) and monotone iterative (MI) methods, we solve a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) of equivalent circuit. With this approach, the two-tone characteristics in frequency domain for HBTs were directly computed from time domain result with fast Fourier transform (FFT). Simulation results on a realistic HBT are presented to show the accuracy and efficiency of the method.

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 کاملEfficient Feedforward Linearization Technique Using Genetic Algorithms for OFDM Systems
Feedforward is a linearization method that simultaneously offers wide bandwidth and good intermodulation distortion suppression; so it is a good choice for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Feedforward structure consists of two loops, being necessary an accurate adjustment between them along the time, and when temperature, environmental, or operating changes are produce...
متن کاملDEVICE DISPERSION AND INTERMODULATION IN HEMTs
It has been shown previously that bias networks in microwave amplifiers can lead to complex intermodulation distortion effects. Here, we demonstrate that charge trapping effects in High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) can lead to additional anomalous intermodulation behaviour. This behaviour can be clearly observed as changes in intermodulation levels with tone-spacing, and two-tone asymm...
متن کاملSynchronous measurement of even and odd order intermodulation distortion at the resonant frequency of a superconducting resonator.
A method has been developed that uses three input tones to measure both even and odd order intermodulation distortions (IMDs) inside the pass band of resonant devices. With this technique the surface current density of both the driving signal and the IMD tones can be quantified. Synchronous, or same frequency, measurement of both even and odd order distortions permits quantitative comparison of...
متن کاملModeling of Power Amplifier Nonlinearities Using Volterra Series
Radio Frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PAs) are one of the most important elements in radio telecommunication facilities, which are used to amplify the power of input signals. At the same time, they gradually become the bottleneck for modern telecommunication systems due to the confliction between the linearity and the efficiency, resulting in their relatively high level energy consumption. Vol...
