Behavioral modeling flow for accurate RF and microwave system simulation

This preliminary paper presents a measurement scenario for the indirect identification of long term memory kernel of a two-path memory behavioral model. The measurement principle is based on the use of a regular VNA setup and is applied here for the characterization and modeling of a Down-converter chain. It has been experimentally demonstrated that this measurement principle allows accurate model identification by performing a simple set of measurements. Extracted model proves the ability to provide a good prediction for complex communication signals.
