This paper presents a behavioral electrothermal model implementation for high RF power amplifiers dedicated to the simulation of radar application in the Scilab/Scicos environment. This model, based on the direct coupling between a behavioral electrical model and a physics-based reduced thermal model, allows to predict nonlinear effects, high-frequency memory effects, and thermal effects due to the amplifier self-heating. System model implementation in Scilab/Scicos platform allows fast time domain simulation with very good convergence properties.
