Description
Use the Amplifier block to model a linear or
nonlinear amplifier, with or without noise. Defining the amplifier
gain using a data source also defines input data visualization and
modeling. Use the Main tab parameters to specify
amplifier gain and noise using data sheet values, standard s2p
files,
S-parameters, or circuit envelope polynomial coefficients.
The amplifier is implemented as a polynomial, voltage-controlled voltage source (VCVS) except
when the amplifier gain is obtained from a Data source
. The
VCVS includes nonlinearities that are described using parameters listed in the
Nonlinearity tab. To model linear amplification, the amplifier
implements the relation Vout =
a1*Vin between the input and output voltages. The input voltage is Vi(t) =
Ai(t)ejωt, and the output voltage is Vo(t) =
Ao(t)ejωt at each carrier w = 2πf in the RF Blockset™ environment.
In case the amplifier gain is obtained from a data source, amplifier implementation is based on S-parameter data. Nonlinear amplification is modeled as a polynomial (with the saturation power computed automatically). It also produces additional intermodulation frequencies.
Amplifier block mask icons are dynamic and show the current state of the applied noise parameter. This table shows you how the icons on this block vary based on the state of the Noise figure (dB) parameter on the block.

More About
Noise Figure Data
Noise figure represents only a subset of the noise information (spot noise data) needed to fully describe the noise behavior of a two-port device. When only noise figure is specified, RF Blockset amplifier defines the spot noise parameters in the following manner:
Amplifier exhibits specified noise figure when source impedance is matched to the reference impedance ().
Spot Noise Data
Noise in RF Blockset amplifiers are represented as two correlated noise sources at the input port of a noiseless two-port:
The noise sources variance and correlation are governed by an ABCD-correlation matrix:
that is determined by measurable quantities:
NFmin - Minimum noise figure
Rn - Equivalent noise resistance
Yopt - Optimal source admittance
k - Boltzman's constant
T - Noise temperature in Kelvin
.
The above quantities are specified in the amplifier from the noise data section in
the .s2p
file or directly as masked parameters in the noise pane.
In both cases:
NFmin is specified in decibels
Rn is specified as equivalent normalized resistance, RN (
Rn = Z0RN
).Yopt is specified in terms of optimal reflection coefficient, Γopt (
Yopt = Y0(1-Γopt)/(1+Γopt)
).
In the above, Z0 =
1/Y0
is the reference impedance that is
real. If the Source of amplifier gain is Data
source
, the reference impedance is specified in the
.s2p
file or in the amplifier mask. Other wise the reference
impedance is 50 ohms.
The noise factor, F, of the amplifier is affected by the noisy source impedance, Zs, and is determined from the ABCD-correlation matrix:
The noise figure, NF, is obtained from the noise factor using, NF =
10log(F)
.
