A new behavioural model of a power amplifier (PA) at system level is presented, dedicated to radar applications. This model, which is able to take into account output loading impedance mismatch, is based on a similar topology to the PA's circuit. The model, implemented in Agilent Advanced Design System (ADS), is validated for different loading impedances, until VSWR=2 (voltage standing wave ratio), on the PA's bandwidth. This approach permits an extraction, resulting from simple CW measurements or simulations, and easy model implementation. This work has been supported by DGA (French Defense and Security Agency).
