Load pull for differential circuit

Mariam HABIB
Mariam HABIB over 2 years ago

Hello all,

I am designing a differential power amplifier using virtuoso IC6.1.7 and trying to find the optimum load impedance, to which I need to match in order to get a maximum output power, by applying the load pull option available in HB simulator I am getting a non realistic power contours 

would you please help me with the settings I have to apply to get realistic data?

a snapshot of the settings is really appreciated

    Have you had a chance to review the basic set up information on page 8 of the On-line support webinar presentation at URL:

    https://support.cadence.com/apex/ArticleAttachmentPortal?id=a1O3w000009zJXmEAM&pageName=ArticleContent

    It contains a view of the settings for the GUI for an example case. I hope this helps!
