Abstract :
Accurate system level simulation is indispensable for efficient RF communication system design. However system level models of nonlinear circuits are today very limited by their inability to handle nonlinear memory effects. The paper describes a new approach of system-level modeling which accounts efficiently for nonlinear envelope memory effects of wideband amplifiers, multipliers and mixers.
