loadpull
It’s a common first step in amplifier design-and easy to do in ADS.
两种基本类型
1)fixed source power as load is varied
hold source power constant&vary the load Z
you get power delivered as a function of Z-load
2)optimize source power to hold load power constant
keep the delivered load power constant for all values of load Z
you get various contours(PAE/gain/bias current)for constant load power
loadpull仿真基础
REASON
Get optimal load impedance&large-signal response of a biased device.
获得最佳负载阻抗和偏置设备的大信号响应。
METHOD
Vary impedance seen by a device to other than 50ohms
将设备看到的阻抗变化到50欧姆以外
RESULT
Listed values and contours on a smith chart.
史密斯图表上列出的数值和轮廓。

Source Pull
Vary the impedance seen by the input of a device
PAE
(power delivered to load-power delivered to amp input)/DC power consumption
