Modeling and Simulation of 3G Power Amplification Subsystems

Abstract

Widespread acceptance of CDMA technology has paved the way for the deployment of 3G networks that will offer a multitude of enhanced services such as high-speed packet data and multimedia. The complexity of 3G networks is remarkable and imposes notable design challenges to satisfy stringent performance requirements at the system and subsystem levels. One key aspect in a successful design is the use of CAD tools to optimize the performance of the network at different complexity levels. This paper describes a custom CAD tool for the modeling and simulation of 3G power amplification subsystems.
