RF系统的频率响应分析

This example uses a few techniques to calculate the steady-state frequency response for a filter-based RF system built from RF Blockset™ Circuit Envelope library blocks. The first technique performs static analysis (harmonic balance) on a circuit comprising of inductors and capacitors. The second technique does time domain simulation using a similar circuit built with the Filter library block. The third technique facilitates small-signal analysis to obtain the frequency response of a filtering system that exhibits nonlinearity at a given operation point. This example helps you validate a circuit envelope model using a static analysis in the frequency domain, a time domain simulation, and small signal analysis in cases where the system exhibits non-linearity.

Frequency Domain Analysis

model ='simrfv2_ac_analysis';Open_System(型号);

The system consists of:

  • A Continuous Wave source and a series resistor to model a voltage source with internal source impedance.

  • Inductor and Capacitor blocks configured to model a third-order Chebyshev filter with a center frequency of 2.4 GHz.

  • 一个配置为电压传感器的外口块,以测量载荷电阻的电压。

  • A Configuration block, which sets up the circuit envelope simulation environment. As the system is linear, the harmonic balance analysis is done with a single simulation frequency and corresponds to an AC analysis.

  1. 类型open_system('simrfV2_ac_analysis')at the Command Window prompt.

  2. Double-click the block labeled 'Specify Frequency Values' to provide a vector of frequencies.

  3. Double-click the block labeled 'Calculate Frequency Response' to execute a script,SIMRFV2_AC_ANALYSIS_CALLBACK,分析了model at the specified frequencies and plots the response.

SIMRFV2_AC_ANALYSIS_CALLBACK([模型'/subsystem'],,'OpenFCN');

用电路信封库块配置模型以进行谐波平衡:

  • 在“模型配置参数”对话框中,设置停止时间parameter to zero.

  • Use a Continuous Wave block to drive the system.

  • Set the载体频率parameter in the Continuous Wave, Outport blocks, and theFundamental Tonesparameter in the Configuration block to the same vector of frequencies.

Small Signal Analysis

model ='simrfV2_ac_analysis_ss';Open_System(型号)

The system consists of:

  • 输出连续随机信号的随机源发电机,该信号随后被减弱以确保小信号输入。

  • 恒定源添加到随机源以确定非线性操作点。这两个信号均以2.4 GHz为中心。

  • An RF System comprising two elements; A saw filter constructed using the S-parameter library block with a center frequency of 2.45 GHz and a bandwidth of 112 MHz and an amplifier with 20dB of available power gain and non-linearity described by a 3rd-order intercept point of 30dBm.

  • Discrete Transfer Function Estimator block to view the frequency domain output of a time domain simulation measured over the 2.4 GHz carrier.

  • 频谱分析仪查看输出并将其与保存的输出数据进行比较。

Since the transient signal is small while the operation point is determined based on carrier-constant large signals, it is possible to use the transient small-signal approximation. In this approximation, non-linear interaction between transient signals is ignored, however the non-linear interaction between carrier-constant signals and its effect on the small signals is captured accurately. The small signal analysis is enabled in the advanced tab of the Configuration block mask.

使用较小的信号分析,可以选择用于稳态解决方案的完整载体的子集进行瞬态模拟。在此示例中,只有2.4 GHz对瞬态分析感兴趣。减少模拟载体的数量,加速模拟。在这种情况下,小信号仿真的速度比基于非线性电路 - eNVELOPE的模拟快15倍以上。将小信号仿真结果与从文件加载的全电路包络模拟的结果进行比较,很明显,结果实际上是相同的。
