Abstract
This paper presents a novel poly-harmonic distortion (PHD) model that incorporates the DC input and output bias voltages using Gaussian process regression (GPR). Simulation tests were conducted using a 10-W gallium nitride (GaN) HEMT transistor from Wolfspeed, and the model implementation test was performed in the Keysight Advanced Design System environment. The results showed that the GPR-based PHD model exhibited good performance in predicting both fundamental and harmonic behaviors over a wide range of bias variations with significant advantages over basic linear regression methods. Additionally, the model accurately predicted load-pull simulations. The measurement test was conducted using a 6-W GaN device, and the results showed a mean error of 2.22% and 4.54% for the fundamental and second harmonic of the reflected wave, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Prediction through modelling forms the basis of engineering design. The computational power at the fingertips of the professional engineer is increasing enormously and techniques for computer simulation are changing rapidly. Engineers need models which relate to their design area and which are adaptable to new design concepts. They also need efficient and friendly ways of presenting, viewing and transmitting the data associated with their models.
The International Journal of Numerical Modelling: Electronic Networks, Devices and Fields provides a communication vehicle for numerical modelling methods and data preparation methods associated with electrical and electronic circuits and fields. It concentrates on numerical modelling rather than abstract numerical mathematics.
Contributions on numerical modelling will cover the entire subject of electrical and electronic engineering. They will range from electrical distribution networks to integrated circuits on VLSI design, and from static electric and magnetic fields through microwaves to optical design. They will also include the use of electrical networks as a modelling medium.
