Measurement-based large-signal simulation of active components from automated nonlinear vector network analyzer data via X-parameters

Predictable measurement-based large-signal design has been demonstrated with a unique set of interoperable commercially available nonlinear technologies for measurement, simulation, and design of nonlinear components. The new NVNA instrument, automated X-parameter measurements and extraction, and auto-configurable compiled PHD component in ADS, together enable design of nonlinear circuits entirely from fully calibrated nonlinear component data.
