Through the tube...
Hello all,
something completely different...
there was some recent discussion on the forum about modeling guitar amplifiers.I have been wondering for quite a while, whether the methods that I use to model radio frequency power amplifiers might also work for audio applications.
It's been a rainy day, so I found the time and energy for some experiments. Just for fun.
The device-under-test is a preamplifier with a single 12AX7 tube:
My good ol' Kurzweil (not in the picture) serves as "signal...
Radio Frequency Distortion Part II: A power spectrum model
SummaryThis article presents a ready-to-use model for nonlinear distortion caused by radio frequenfcy components in wireless receivers and linear transmitters. Compared to the similar model presented in my earlier blog entry, it operates on expectation values of the the power spectrum instead of the signal itself: Use the signal-based model to generate distortion on a signal, and the one from this article to directly obtain the power spectrum much more efficiently.In...
