Mixer Simulation with HP Advanced Design SystemSolutions from HP EEsofMixer Simulation with HP Advanced Design SystemTechnical NoteIntroduction Mixers are nonlinear circuits used to translate signals from one frequency to another. They are characterized by how much gain or loss they introduce in this conversion, as well as how much distortion and noise they contribute. For this reason, accurate nonlinear device models are essential to getting good results, but obtaining these models is not discussed here. This technical note covers some of the details required to simulate mixers with HP Advanced Design System. Unless otherwise noted, all of the simulation set-ups and data displays are included in the HP ADS 1.0 example project examples/RFIC/ Mixers_prj. A designer could easily copy and modify parts of this project in order to run……
