Applications of X parameters in behavioral modeling of RF power amplifiers for wireless communications: An overview
X parameters are developed as an extension of S parameters. They are capable of characterizing and modeling nonlinear systems. One of the most popular and important area where X parameters find their usefulness is behavior modeling of radio frequency power amplifier. Based on review of current literature, as well as discussion on the latest in house research, this paper presents an overview of the theory and practical applications of X parameter based behavior modeling technique. The focus is put on the applications of X parameters in characterizing and modeling various type of radio frequency power amplifier. Future research direction in this area is also discussed.
