5th order electro-thermal multi-tone Volterra simulator with component-level output

چکیده
This paper describes a method of implementing thermal power feedback (TPF) into a 5th order nonlinear distortion analysis with Volterra-series. The main advantages of the Volterra analysis is that diferent thermal and electrothermal contributions of distortion can be separated, giving extensive information about dominant distortion mechanisms. As an example, electro-thermal distortion in a simple common emitter amplijier is studied.

Predictive microwave device design by coupled electro - t hermal simulation based on a fully physical thermal model
Coupled electro-thermal simulations are performed to demonstrate predictive design of microwave devices. These simulations are based on an original, fully physical, thermal impedance matrix approach, capable of describing 'nearly exactly' time-dependent heat flow in complex 3-dimensional systems, whilst requiring no model reduction for electro-thermal CAD. This thermal model is validated by the...
متن کاملA 5th order Volterra study of a 30W LDMOS power amplifier
A 30 W LDMOS is modeled using a 5th order polynomial model. The polynomial model is compared to the largesignal MET model using harmonic balance, and as the results agreed very well, the polynomial model was imported to a numerical Volterra simulator to find out the dominant cause of distortion for a class A biased amplifier. The characterization technique is briefly discussed.
