Learn how Modelithics empowers engineers with accurate models, advanced characterization, and proven design tools that help bring innovative products to market faster.
Noise Prediction
Modelithics models for amplifiers and transistors are often validated for noise parameters over broad frequency ranges. As a result, designers can predict noise performance when incorporating these models into a circuit design. Modelithics performs noise-parameter measurements using equipment from Keysight Technologies and Maury Microwave.
As an example, the AMPSP-GUR-GRF2072-001 model for the Guerrilla RF GRF2072 amplifier is validated for noise parameters from 250 MHz to 8 GHz. Noise parameter measurements were performed using a Keysight PNA-X network analyzer.
The HMT-MCL-TAV214LN model for the Mini-Circuits TAV2-14LN+ E-pHEMT transistor is an example of a transistor model that is validated for noise parameters. Shown below are the modeled and measured noise parameters for the TAV2-14LN+ E-pHEMT transistor from 4 to 18 GHz. Note that both the AMPSP-GUR-GRF2072-001 and HMT-MCL-TAV214LN models are available in the Modelithics COMPLETE Library™.

1/f Noise
A select number of transistor models are also validated for 1/f noise. This capability allows for accurate phase-noise predictions for oscillator designs.
