The Software Package for Modeling and Optimizing the Electrical Characteristics of Non-Linear Frequency Converters of Radio Signals Based on Resonant Tunneling Diodes

The modular structure and algorithms of the modules of the software package for modeling and optimizing the electrical characteristics of nonlinear frequency converters (FCs) based on resonant-tunneling diodes (RTDs) are described. The developed complex makes it possible to simulate the kinetics of the electrical characteristics of FCs under the influence of destabilizing factors under given operating conditions, as well as to optimize these characteristics in order to ensure the required level of reliability of FCs during gradual failures in specified operating conditions. The results of testing the developed complex on the example of a broadband balanced mixer of radio signals based on RTD are presented.
