We propagate for the first time correlated measurement
uncertainties into a nonlinear behavioral model of a
millimeter-wave amplifier. We make use of the National Institute
of Standards and Technology Microwave Uncertainty Framework
to evaluate the uncertainties in large-signal electromagnetic wave
measurements of an amplifier, followed by the extraction of Xparameters
using an industry standard algorithm. This extracted
model is included as a component in a circuit simulator to evaluate
gain and efficiency incorporating measurement uncertainty.
