hi,
I'm running a harmonic balance with a parameter fro drive power and then another one for the fundamental frequency, i then was to optimise components in my schematic to try and achieve a particular efficiency across all sweep values, and then a particular output power for the peak power sweep variable.
is this possible? all the tutorials I've seen are for s-param/ac or other basic simulations, none with nested parameter sweeps.
the problem i run into is when i try and reference the fundamental power, like i do in a data display Pout[1], it just says invalid expression.
is there a more advanced tutorial on optimisation i can look at or dose anyone know how to get around this?
thanks
David

It has an optimization of different parameter values to try to maximize power-added efficiency at different output powers and includes a sweep of the input power.
The Amplifier DesignGuide has optimizations of source and load impedances or reflection coefficients at fundamental and harmonic frequencies to maximize PAE while delivering a minimum output power.
