Load Pull Templates: A Method For Benchmarking Nonlinear Device Models With Load Pull Measurements

A Texas Instruments nonlinear GaAs FET Modified Materka model was developed in HP-EESof Series IV v5.0 using Libra Senior. A "Load pull Template" was developed in the current HP-EESof software Libra IV v5.0 which utilizes the nonlinear model to simulate power out and power-added effiency load pull contours. Commercially available software was then used to compare modeled versus measured load pull contours and to verifY the accuracy of the nonlinear model.
