Convert to and from金宝appSignals

Signal Conversion Specifications

When you simulate an RF model, the blockset must convert the mathematical Simulink®signals to and from the physical modeling environment. The following figure shows the signals involved in the conversion.

Simulink signal entering Input Port block and leaving Output Port.

Where:

  • ZSis theSource impedance (ohms)parameter of the Input Port block.

  • ZLis theLoad impedance (ohms)parameter of the Output Port block.

Interpret金宝appSignals as Incident Power Waves

The blockset provides the option to interpret the input Simulink signal,Sin, as the incident power wave,ap1, at the first port of the RF system. The following figure shows the model for this interpretation.

Power wave is transmitted at the second port of the system.

In the figure,bp2is the transmitted power wave at the second port of the RF system. This is the signal at the output of the Output Port block,Sout.

For a 2-port RF system, the incident and transmitted power waves are defined as:

a p 1 = V S 2 R S b p 2 = R L Z L V L

where:

  • ZS, theSource impedance (ohms)parameter of the Input Port block, is defined as:

    ZS=RS+jXS

  • ZL, theLoad impedance (ohms)parameter of the Output Port block, is defined as:

    ZL=RL+jXL

Solving the power wave equations forSinandSoutgives the following relationships:

S i n = V S 2 R S S o u t = R L Z L V L

The implications of this interpretation are:

  • | S i n | 2 is equal to the power available from the source,Pavs.

  • | S o u t | 2 is equal to the power delivered to the load,Pout.

For a linear RF system, P o u t = G t P a v s whereGtis the transducer power gain. As a result, the Simulink signals at the input and output of the RF system have the following relationship:

| S o u t | 2 = G t | S i n | 2

Interpret金宝appSignals as Source Voltages

The blockset provides the option to interpret the input Simulink signal,Sin, as the source voltage,VS, of the RF system. The following figure shows the model for this interpretation.

Block diagram of the signal at the output of the Output Port block which is a load voltage.

With this interpretation, the signal at the output of the Output Port block is the load voltage,VL.

The blockset interpretation of the input Simulink signal as the source voltage,VS, produces different results than the interpretation where the input Simulink signal is the incident power wave. When the source and load impedances are the same and real, the former interpretation produces 6 dB of loss compared to the latter.

Specify Input Signal Conversions

To specify the way in which the blockset interprets the input Simulink signal, you change the value of theTreat input Simulink signal as参数对话框在输入端口。的available parameter values are:

  • Incident power wave— Interpret the input signal as the incident power wave.

  • Source voltage— Interpret the input signal as the source voltage.
