Abstract

The simulation of a 915 MHz receiver using Hewlett Packard´s Advanced Design System/sup TM/ CAE software is presented in this paper. The receiver subsystem includes input filtering and amplification, and a single down-conversion stage to a 70 MHz IF frequency. In order to demonstrate some capabilities of the software, examples of power budget, small-signal sweep, large signal sweep and harmonic balance simulations are described in a tutorial fashion.
