This paper introduces an approach to the behavioral modeling of the frequency dependent conversion mechanism in a RF/microwave mixers operating in its linear region. The core of the model consists of the conversion matrix of the nonlinear circuit under investigation, which represents its linearization around the large-signal state. This approach allows for a straightforward implementation in computer aided design (CAD) using the conversion matrix that is constructed from either simulation or measurements: the former is considered in this paper. We illustrate the technique by implementing this model in commercial CAD software, for the investigation of a micromixer cell suitable for UWB applications. Analysis and discussion about the computational effort reduction are reported

Abstract
This paper introduces an approach to the behavioral modeling of the frequency dependent conversion mechanism in a RF/microwave mixers operating in its linear region. The core of the model consists of the conversion matrix of the nonlinear circuit under investigation, which represents its linearization around the large-signal state. This approach allows for a straightforward implementation in computer aided design (CAD) using the conversion matrix that is constructed from either simulation or measurements: the former is considered in this paper. We illustrate the technique by implementing this model in commercial CAD software, for the investigation of a micromixer cell suitable for UWB applications. Analysis and discussion about the computational effort reduction are reportedFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
