Software Tool for Design and Simulations of Wideband RF Upconverters

The main objective of this paper is to present a concept of a software tool for wideband RF upconverters evaluation, developed with the use of Agilent's ADS software. It is intended to be an instrument for designing and prototyping of RF upconverters for diversified applications. In this paper we describe the general concept of the tool, along with some initial analyses and verifications.
