Wideband amplifier model in VSS

$

Hi, I have been researching the AMP_F block in VSS (Frequency Dependent Behavioral Amplifier) and I'm interested in trying the Large Signal Polynomial method. According to the documentation (https://awrcorp.com/download/faq/english/docs/VSS_System_Blocks/AMP_F.htm) it can model "broadband, frequency dependent" effects. However, for the 'data' field, there is this disclaimer:

Note that you cannot include both input power/voltage-dependent tables and frequency-dependent tables in the same data file.

If that's the case, then how is the frequency dependency captured, assuming you want to supply something like the following:

    FREQ=1G
    FREQB=1.1G
    PIn(,dBm)   POut(,dBm)  PhsOut(Phs,deg)  IM_2_1(,dBm)  IM_1_2(,dBm)  H2A(,dBm)  H2B(,dBm)
    -50         -40         180              -150          -152          -102       -103
    -40         -30         179              -120          -124          -82        -83
    -30         -21         170              -89           -96           -62        -63

Any help or insight would be appreciated!
