High power load pull with X-parameters - a new paradigm for modeling and design

Load pull with x-parameters is more than a measurement - it creates instant large signal models for simulation and design of complex power amplifier circuits. The model is accurate over the whole range of the device operation and the modeling and design can be done in days, rather than weeks or months. This paper will discuss the process of setting up for high power load pull with X-Parameters, doing the measurement, and bringing the data into the simulation.
