Abstract :
A new Padé behavioral model dependent on the magnitude of the load reflection coefficient is presented. With this model, we need only sweep the magnitude of reflection coefficient, |ΓL|, to cover the whole Smith chart, instead of sweeping both phase and magnitude when performing model extraction. This greatly simplifies the model extraction process from a 2D-load-pull sweep to a 1D sweep. Both simulation and measured results are given, demonstrating good accuracy with the proposed model.
