Title: Optimal Simulation Techniques for High Linearity Systems

Date: February 1, 2023

Sponsored by: RFMW and Marki Microwave

Presented by: Harley Berman, Applications Engineer, Marki Microwave

Abstract:
Modern receiver designers are tasked with designing ultra-high linearity receivers, making s-parameter models for many components useless for final simulations. While one can build a quasi-nonlinear amplifier model from an s2p file and a datasheet, accurately simulating something like a mixer always requires a fully nonlinear model. At Marki Microwave, we aimed to solve this problem and prevent wasting time running nonlinear simulations with linear device models. Join us for this 45-minute webinar where we will build a simple receiver simulation from the ground up using small signal s-parameters, standard nonlinear models, and Marki’s proprietary physics-based nonlinear device models.
