mixer simulation - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Post subject: mixer simulation Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 4:47 pm

Hi,

I have been trying to simulate (as part of a down converter system) a mixer at Ku band using Ansoft Designer. I wanted to simulate the effect of the mixer phase response on the output phase of my system. Does anyone know how to model/incorporate phase information in the mixer block in Designer? I can play around with the conversion gain and the power levels in the IM products using the spur table, but how do I include phase information?
