Patent ID: 7853902

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a high-frequency circuit, the method comprising: providing an active component having an input and an output; selecting a first set containing a first number of supporting operating points; determining for each supporting operating point a second set of output impedances at the output of the active component; determining for each supporting operating point and for each output impedance a source impedance at the input of the active component; determining at least one load line at each supporting operating point for each output impedance; measuring a small-signal parameter at the input and the output of the active component; determining a course of the measured small-signal parameter along each load line; determining a region of each load line as a load line subset, distinguished by a characteristic property dependent on the small-signal parameter; determining a large-signal parameter value, via a computer having a processor and a memory, assigned to the supporting operating point and the output impedance and the source impedance and the load line, from the course of the small-signal parameter within the region, wherein the large-signal parameter value is determined from averaging the small-signal parameter along the load line within the region; and selecting and integrating additional components into the high-frequency circuit, the additional components defining an operating point of the active component based on the determined large-signal parameter value such that the high frequency circuit is stabilized.
