Uses a few techniques to calculate the steady-state frequency response for a filter-based RF system built from RF Blockset™ Circuit Envelope library blocks. The first technique performs static analysis (harmonic balance) on a circuit comprising of inductors and capacitors. The second technique does time domain simulation using a similar circuit built with the Filter library block. The third technique facilitates small-signal analysis to obtain the frequency response of a filtering system that exhibits nonlinearity at a given operation point. This example helps you validate a circuit envelope model using a static analysis in the frequency domain, a time domain simulation, and small signal analysis in cases where the system exhibits non-linearity.

Use two different options for modeling S-parameters with the RF Blockset™ Circuit Envelope library. The Time-domain (rationalfit) technique creates an analytical rational model that approximates the whole range of the data. This is a preferable technique when a good fit could be achieved with a small number of poles. When the data has a lot of details or high level of noise, this model becomes large and slow to simulate.

Simulate delay-based and lumped-element Transmission Line using blocks in the RF Blockset™ Circuit Envelope library. The example is sequenced to examine circuit envelope and passband differences, delay-based lossy transmission line sectioning, and lumped element implementation of delay.
