  • Abstract
    This paper introduces an analytical approach to obtain fundamental and harmonic load-pull contours using X-parameters. This method is proposed to obtain the optimum load impedance at different harmonics. This approach has been applied on a two port X-parameter model and its results are independently verified by ADS simulation.
