Simulation has become a key issue in analyzing, optimizing and designing wireless systems. In this paper, a mathematical model for the power amplifier is implemented in Simulink to extend the RF Blockset to model wideband applications such as WCDMA. This model for the power amplifier implements a modified Saleh model. Saleh model is a quasi memory-less nonlinear model, and is converted into a straightforward and easy to implement model with memory effects.
