N3517A Understanding X-Parameters
Audience: Designers interested in understanding X-parameters* and their capabilities for non-linear system modeling and design.
Using Keysight EEsof EDA's Advanced Design System software, this three-day, hands-on course will present the fundamentals of X-parameters, their application for non-linear amplifiers and advantages over other behavioral modeling techniques.
* "X-parameters" is a registered trademark of Keysight Technologies. The X-parameter format and underlying equations are open and documented. For more information click here.
