LTC5596 ADS Simulation

Hi,

We don't have ADS model for LTC5596. only s1p file is available on the product page.

Thank you Andy, if had to sweep output power as a function of input power and frequency, is there an equation to use considering there's no model for it? We are using it in one of defense systems and I need to determine output power impact as a function of input power/frequency into my system.

Just following up on previous post, is there an excel file showing the output voltage response as a functions of input power and frequency for LTC5596?

hi,

here's the file for the vout vs frequency.

To get the better accuracy,calibration is recommended. two point calibration would give the slope and intercept at each frequency. across frequency, you can use interpolation for slope and intercept adjustments.  some of the variations will come from the intercept shift as frequency increase. slope does change a little, but not as much.

Great thank you Andy.

Just out of curiosity, what is the anticipated output voltage response, if we had to an input power of 15dBm? Based on the data you sent, it seems pretty linear to 0dBm.

hi,

the Vout will clip or become flat lined at the top of the range, generally just right under 1.2V, but lower at higher frequencies 40ghz and above.
