Design and study of RF links

Abstract

As 5/6G technologies are constantly evolving, radio links must be easily designed and analyzed. Focusing on budget and spur analyses for frequency domain concurrently with time domain simulation, the present paper presents a complete and new evaluation approach for radio frequency (RF) links in conformance with matching at the ports of the RF components blocks. Frequency and time domain simulations of RF links allow shorter design time and higher performances in a what-if approach. In the system simulation of the proposed radio link, the signal heritage stipulates if a signal corresponds to the carrier or is a source of intermodulation or distortion produced in the link considering the compression point and leakage from output to the input of power in various points through the link.
