rfckt.amplifier class - Package: rfckt

RF amplifier

Syntax

h = rfckt.amplifier h = rfckt.amplifier('Property1',value1,'Property2',value2,...)

Description

Use the amplifier class to represent RF amplifiers that are characterized by network parameters, noise data, and nonlinearity data.

h = rfckt.amplifier returns an amplifier circuit object whose properties all have their default values.

h = rfckt.amplifier('Property1',value1,'Property2',value2,...) returns a circuit object, h, based on the specified properties. Properties that you do not specify retain their default values.

Use the read method to read the amplifier data from a data file in one of the following formats:

Touchstone
Agilent P2D
Agilent S2D
AMP

See AMP File Format for information about the .amp format.
