MixerHBsetup extracts the behavior of a circuit-level mixer using a Harmonic Balance simulation. The extracted dataset can be subsequently used by the corresponding data-based system model MixerHBdata. Ports RF, IF and LO ports of the MixerHBsetup component correspond to the ports 1, 2 and 3 on the MixerHBdata component.
MixerHBsetup can be pushed into for a view of the extractor implementation including access to the built-in Harmonic Balance simulator component. Note that equations and variables of the extractor subcircuit are referenced by name from parameters of the MixerHBdata component. Any user-initiated changes made to a specific instance of MixerHBsetup must be reflected in a complementary instance of MixerHBdata for correct dataset indexing for behavioral modeling.
The use of this component is highlighted in the example project MixerHBdata_prj .
The extracted ADS dataset is assigned the name of the extraction design by default.
