4 results about "Load pull" patented technology

Load-pull is the colloquial term applied to the process of systematically varying the impedance presented to a device under test (DUT), most often a transistor, to assess its performance and the associated conditions to deliver that performance in a network. While load-pull itself implies impedance variation at the load port, impedance can also be varied at any of the ports of the DUT, most often at the source.

Universal tuner for on wafer load pull

ActiveUS12693322B1WaferHarmonic
A universal load pull tuner for on wafer load pull and noise measurements is connected directly to the wafer-probe to minimize insertion loss and maximize the tuning range; it incorporates a suspended tuning module and an automated anti-tilting balancing mechanism with manual wafer tip planarization capability, all in a solid housing. The tuning module includes up to three mobile carriages and wideband tuning probes controlling independently impedances for up to three harmonic frequencies. The tuner is mountable under an angle matching the slope of the wafer probes and only requires a simple three axis positioner, without customized accessories, to operate.

A complete modeling method and system for microwave compound semiconductor devices

ActiveCN121212049BCAD circuit designCapacitanceVerilog-A
This invention discloses a full-process modeling method and system for microwave compound semiconductor devices, belonging to the field of microwave electronic device technology. The method includes six steps: device model creation, measured data import, small-signal model parameter extraction, nonlinear current model parameter extraction, nonlinear capacitance model parameter extraction, and global model verification. It achieves one-stop parameter extraction covering the entire process, integrating analytical and optimization algorithms to improve parameter accuracy. Global verification is performed across five dimensions: multi-bias S-parameters, current characteristics, capacitance characteristics, power sweep characteristics, and load pull circle diagram. Combined with commercial microwave simulation software, a directly loadable Verilog A model is output. This invention solves the problems of disjointed processes and insufficient verification dimensions in existing technologies, improving modeling efficiency and accuracy, and providing precise model support for high-frequency, high-power electronic devices.
