Hello!

Designing power amplifier designers use load pull analysis (particular in ADS), then analyze data and find optimum load impedances in frequency range and build matching network. Optimization this network with transistors model is quite slow. Is it possible to extract simple SNP file with S parameters that consist optimum input and output impedances, and transmittion coeffictions in desired frequency range?
I find in ADS function that use Maury load pull data that use this principle. Is it possible to extract Maury load pull data file from ADS analysis?
 

Load Pull is used to find "optimum conditions" for a PA.These are Optimum Power or/and Optimum Efficiency or/and Optimum Gain and of course these specifications cannot simultaneously be ( at least in practice ) obtained.S-parameters are small signal parameters and they are valid only for certain bias conditions and they cannot be never and ever used in Large Signal simulations or Nonlinear Simulations.
Maury Load Pull datas are measured ones so if you have these datas, you don't have to do any Load Pull simulations because you already know which composition of Load Impedance will give you "Optimum Conditions"
