    how to make antenna model in ADS:cry:

    Yes! Exactly! I simulated the antenna at the HFSS and I would like to incorporate its electrical characteristics (s11) in ADS to simulate the entire system. The problem is that I do not know how to create a two port block in ADS based on the s11 parameter from HFSS. Perhaps you could send me...

    Frequency sweep in Harmonic Balance

    Hello all, I am trying to simulate the frequency response of a simple rectifier using HB in ADS (Vdc x Freq). I have set the sweep variable to be the frequency of the power source of the circuit. When I perform the simulation, however, I get a constant dc output voltage which does not depend on...

    how to make antenna model in ADS:cry:

    Hello! Thanks for answering! I thought about this, but from HFSS I can get only the s11 parameters. How I can make a two port block out of only s11 parameter data? Thanks again!

    how to make antenna model in ADS:cry:

    Hey! Did you manage to solve this issue? I am having the same problem now: I designed an antenna at HFSS, but I do not know how to build a two port block at ADS based on the s11 parameters from HFSS.... Thanks!

    Sweeping a model variable in ADS

    Dear all, Anyone here knows how to sweep a variable of a model in ADS? I would like to simulate the impact of the saturation current of a diode in a rectifier at the output voltage. In this way, I would need two variables (RFPower and SaturationCurrent) and have a plot of VoutxRFPower for...

    How to define an antenna at ADS?

    Another way to see this problem is how to implement an ac source with a frequency dependent impedance. This impedance of the ac source would be, of course, the same impedance of the antenna obtained from HFSS. Any idea there??! Thanks!

    How to define an antenna at ADS?

    Hello, I have simulated a dipole antenna at HFSS. Now, I would like to use it in a design at ADS. In this way, I would like to have a two-port block that would mimic the impedance frequency dependency of the antenna. Probably at port 1, the impedance should be always equal to 50ohms, while the...

    ADS: Connecting a dipole antenna and a Balun

    Perhaps I did not explain well my problem... I have a UHF dipole antenna with an impedance of 46 -j0.8 ohms for energy harvesting objectives at 868MHz. Before connecting it to the rectifier, I have to use a balun, which s-parameters I can get from the supplier (3 port measurements from Mini...

    ADS: Connecting a dipole antenna and a Balun

    Dear all, I would like to make a full simulation of a double rectifier in ADS. The problem that I am facing now is to connect a dipole antenna model (1 port - s11 parameter) to a ballun (3 port device). How should I connect this two components? Should I excite both input balanced ports of the...

    [SOLVED] Input Impedance X Input Power ADS

    Dear all, I have been trying to extract the input impedance (from s11 parameters) of a simple single stage rectifier as a function of input power (-20dbm to 10dbm). Does anyone here knows how to couple these two measurements? I tried to use Harmonic Balance with the small-signal option...

    [SOLVED] HFSS: Simulation taking too much time

    Hello ! Thank you for your replies! I send in attachment the HFSS file. After waiting 22min the simulation was over, but with an error: "[error] Mesh leak is found for (2) of bodies: (Au_Feed) (Au_Feed_1) (5:02:52 PM Apr 20, 2013)" This can be due to the thickness of the top Gold layer...

    [SOLVED] HFSS: Simulation taking too much time

    Hello all, I am trying to simulate a simple UHF printed dipole antenna. Due its size (lambda/2=17cm), after some minutes of simulation the number of tets go to more than 4 million! Even if after adding a mesh operation to limit the number of elements, the simulation still uses million of...
