I would like to know how to calculate this manually for the entire 3 stages without ADS simulation. I have the equations from Gonzalez p. 194-196:
Gamma_IN = S11 + ((S12*S21*Gamma_L)/(1 - (S22*Gamma_L)));
Gamma_OUT = S22 + ((S12*S21*Gamma_S)/(1 - (S11*Gamma_S)));
Gamma_a = (Za - Z0) / (Za + Z0);
Gamma_b = (Zb - Z0) / (Zb + Z0);
VSWR_IN = (1 + abs(Gamma_a)) / (1 - abs(Gamma_a));
VSWR_OUT = (1 + abs(Gamma_b)) / (1 - abs(Gamma_b));
Assume Z0 = 50 ohms.
From what I was told, you solve Gamma_IN for the 3rd stage first. Then that becomes the load for stage 2. Then Gamma_IN for the 2nd stage becomes the load for the first stage. The opposite is true for Gamma_OUT. What I'm not sure is...is Gamma_L for the 3rd stage 50 ohms or is it Gamma_L for the 3rd stage amplifier which would then be a complex number? Or am I completely off? I tried this in Matlab and my numbers are completely off or rather, much greater than 1. Thanks if anyone can help.
