MATLAB and Simulink Seminars

RF Data Analysis and System Design for Scientific Applications

Overview

Complex high-frequency systems for scientific applications, such as particle accelerators, require tight integration between RF chains and control algorithms to calibrate and optimize performance.

​In this webinar, you will learn how MATLAB and Simulink can be used for modeling custom RF systems based on specifications and hardware measurements. We will first address typical RF data analysis tasks, such as reading and writing Touchstone files, transforming, visualizing, and fitting S-parameters. As a second step, we will discuss how to model and simulate amplifiers, filters, lumped and distributed RF components such as waveguides and resonant cavities.

Using models as virtual prototypes, we will simulate RF chains including effects such as non-linearity and frequency dispersion in closed loop configuration for the design of custom adaptive systems. With practical examples, we will demonstrate how to optimize signal processing algorithms and control logic, algorithms, and state machines to compensate for RF impairments. 

Highlights

  • Introducing RF analysis and RF system design with MATLAB
  • Managing and manipulating S-parameters data
  • Creating and customizing models of RF components
  • Simulating adaptive RF systems together with control algorithms
