1-Tone Nonlinear Simulations > Spectrum, Gain, Harmonic Distortion

Description

This is the most basic simulation setup, and it simulates the spectrum, output power, power gain, and harmonic distortion of a device or amplifier. A sample power amplifier is provided. You must replace this amplifier with your own device or amplifier, and modify the biases, as needed.

Needed to Use Schematic

A device or an amplifier using nonlinear model(s)

Main Schematic Settings

Input frequency and available source power

Data Display Outputs

• Output spectrum and voltage waveform
• Output power
• Transducer power gain (power delivered to the load minus power available from the source)
• Harmonic distortion up to the 5th, in dBc
