These are output power levels that are N-dB lower than some specified power or N-dB lower than the power at the X-dB gain compression point. How do you do this with ADS? Registered users can use this ADS 2017 workspace<http://content.email.keysight.com/emessageIRS/servlet/IRSL?v=5&a=10045&r=36…> that has a swept-power load pull simulation and a data display that shows data at various N-dB backoff points.

A systematic design flow will be exemplified for the case of a 160W Class AB GaN reference design that achieved all goals with no tuning required. Applications of similar flows to other high-efficiency modes such as Class E/F, Class J and Doherty® amplifier configurations will also be discussed.

Specifically, it is the frequency-dependent loss that significantly degrades the signal quality at the receiver. This month on Tim’s Blackboard we study one of the root causes of eye closure.

For each model parameter extraction, measured data is compared against simulated data, and parameters are optimized to achieve the closest fit to the measured data. Because different simulators may use different syntax or "templates," adding a new simulator that is not supported requires its output to be adapted to one of these templates.
