In this paper, a packaged 6 W Gallium Nitride (GaN) RF power transistor is modeled using load-dependent X-parameters by simulations. During the device characterization the load impedance is tuned only up to the 2nd-order harmonic. However, it proves that the model can still accurately approximate the behavior of the transistor under impedance tuning up to the 3rd-order harmonic. The simulation results preliminarily validate the concept of utilizing the X-parameter based modeling technique to decrease the complexity of a harmonic load-pull measurement setup. A high-efficiency 2 GHz power amplifier is also designed for further validation of the concept.","PeriodicalId":273349,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Numerical Electromagnetic Modeling and Optimization for RF, Microwave, and Terahertz Applications (NEMO)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131287357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, the Numerical Electromagnetic Code was developed based on the method of moments to solve integral equations for current distributions, and thus, it is particularly efficient for the modeling and analysis of wire antennas and other metal structures. The computation load can, however, increase significantly with the increase of complexity in structure modeling. Radial basis functions are employed for geometry description to ease such burden by representing structural variations with a minimal number of variables. Evolutionary optimizations are used to explore a wider solution space in a timely manner in the pursuit of near-optimal solution in a multivariable environment. An in-house tool called MATNEC integrating modeling, simulation, analysis, and optimization is developed, which can successfully deliver near-optimal solutions under a pre-defined fitness function, considering both antenna efficiency and bandwidth. Helical antennas with variations in radius and pitch are successfully optimized, which effectively verifies the robustness of MATNEC and methodology applied.","PeriodicalId":273349,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Numerical Electromagnetic Modeling and Optimization for RF, Microwave, and Terahertz Applications (NEMO)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129687545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
