Effective Cascaded Intermodulation Analysis
Sep 1, 2004
By Rulon VanDyke A new simulation technique has been developed that empowers designers
to maximize intermodulation and noise performance while reducing analysis
time. Complicated, individualized, custom spreadsheets, math packages and ad
hoc tools are prone to error and unnecessary. This new simulation technique
leads to better designs, a quicker design phase and more revenue for the
company....
