Load Pull Template with a component based on S-Parameters

Azaro

Hello,

I am getting started with Load Pull Analysis. I would like to use a component based on an S-parameter file in the load pull template. My goal is to sweep the output impedance at 6 GHz with a fixed input power. Finally, I want to see the different power curves according to the load impedance on the Smith chart. I also don't know if an S-parameter file can be used. If it can be used, what should I do with the voltage sources? Honestly, I am a bit lost and want to start from the beginning. Any advice, detailed explanations, and/or configuration examples would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your attention in advance.

    The S parameters are linear transfer functions and do not account for current or voltage, making it difficult to determine power consumption. To accurately model the transistor and build an amplifier, a non-linear model is required.
