bud_gain_comp()

Returns budget gain compression at fundamental frequencies as a function of power

Syntax
y = bud_gain_comp(vIn, iIn, Zs, Plan, freqIndex, pinNumber, "simName") or y = bud_gain_comp("SourceName", SrcIndx, Zs, Plan, freqIndex, pinNumber, "simName")

Arguments
Name Description Range Type Default Required
vIn voltage flowing into the input port (-∞, ∞) complex   yes
iIn current flowing into the input port (-∞, ∞) complex   yes
SourceName component name at the input port   string   yes
SrcIndx † frequency index that corresponds to the source frequency to determine which frequency to use from a multitone source as the reference signal [1, ∞) integer 1 no
Zs input source port impedance [0, ∞) real 50.0 no
freqIndex † index of harmonic frequency (-∞, ∞) integer   no
Plan ‡ number of the selected frequency plan(needed only for HB)   string   no
pinNumber Used to choose which pins of each network element are referenced † ‡ [1, ∞) integer 1 no
simName simulation instance name, such as "AC1" or "HB1", used to qualify the data when multiple simulations are performed.   string   no
† Used if Plan is not selected. ‡ Note that for AC simulation, both the SrcIndx and Plan arguments must not be specified; these are for HB only. † ‡ If 1 is passed as the pinNumber, the results at pin 1 of each element are returned; otherwise, the results for all pins of each element are returned. By default, the pinNumber is set to 1.

Examples

x = bud_gain_comp(PORT1.t1.v[3], PORT1.t1.i[3], , 1)
x = bud_gain_comp("PORT1", 3, , 1)
returns the gain compression at the fundamental frequencies as a function of power
y= bud_gain_comp(PORT1.t1.v[3], PORT1.t1.i[3], , , 1)
y= bud_gain_comp("PORT1", 3, , , 1)
returns the gain compression at the second harmonic frequency as a function of power

Notes/Equations

Used in Harmonic balance simulation with sweep
This is the gain compression (in dB) at the given input frequency from the input port to the terminal(s) of each component, looking into that component. Gain compression is defined as the small signal linear gain minus the large signal gain. Note that the fundamental frequency at each element pin can be different by referencing the frequency plan. A power sweep of the input source must be used in conjunction with HB. The first power sweep point is assumed to be in the linear region of operation.

Note
Remember that the budget function can refer only to the default dataset, that is, the dataset selected in the data display window.
