  • Abstract
    Modeling of distortion in nonlinear RF and microwave amplifiers requires high order nonlinear modeling to capture behavior with digitally modulated signals but only low order modeling to capture the response with discrete spectra as in two-tone testing. This paper establishes model order requirements for successful behavioral modeling for system explorations.
