Abstract
A behavioral model for mixed signal RF circuits. The model approximates non-linear filtering effects for base-band (i.e. suppressed carrier) end-to-end systems analysis. The new model, the K-model, is a linear MIMO (multi-input-multi-output) model with output radius corrected by a non-linear SISO (single-input-single output) model and output angle corrected by a non-linear rotation. The SISO model uses a multi-tanh structure to synthesize a non-linear filter. The multi-tanh structure simulates non-linear behavior by gently switching between transfer functions as the base-band input varies. For excursions well into the steady state non-linear region of operation the K-model simulates large-signal base-band transients to within about 10 percent of those simulated with detailed unsuppressed-carrier models.
