    ADS rectifier efficiency

    Yes I made the gnds and vias. But regarding the wires, those wires are to perform the measurements. And in that part is already DC not RF. Besides the wires are "relaxed" in the pic, while doing the measurements they are stretched below. But do you think that they still have an impact?

    ADS rectifier efficiency

    The contact from the circuit to the gnd plane is made by copper wire, like in the fig.

    ADS rectifier efficiency

    Hi Volker, thank for the answer. Yes I considered those parameters. Bellow you can find the schematic and a pic of the measured hardware

    ADS rectifier efficiency

    Thank you for the answer, it is indeed a RF rectifier. I considered the properties of the textile substrate, however, not sure if the ADS considers the substrate like a rigid PCB. Moreover, about the conductive ink, I only considered the conductivity and thickness, but are you saying that I...

    ADS rectifier efficiency

    Hi everyone, I have a question regarding my rectifier circuit. I performed it in ADS software, and there I obtained an efficiency of ~30%. However, when producing the rectifier, I measured it and instead of the ~30% I obtained ~0.5% efficiency. The rectifier is on a textile substrate and the...

    ADS Layout error pins

    Hi everyone! I'm desining some circuit, and I'm having this error after the layout: "ERROR: (stdcmds.ael line 135, column 12) Error generating netlist for "rectifiercircuit_lib:cell_23:myschematic": Failed to create netlist: There is no corresponding terminal for `P2_POS connected by...

    ADS Layout - tune parameters

    Sorry can you specify which problem, because I posted more problems (in this same thread)

    ADS Layout output results

    Well I guess the true problem is still due to the ports... I'm defining like this now, and the eff increased from 0.3 to 0.8% still really low

    ADS Layout output results

    Yes, it was indeed one port that wasn't defined correctly. Well I'm having now eff of ~0.3% and vout ~145 mV I want to perform now the optimization, because in the schematic I had ~800 mV and wanted, if possible to achieve a similar output or at least half of it. And ocr increase de eff.... But...

    ADS Layout output results

    Well, I rewrite them and here is the result: The same is happening... And what is the vout, you are obtaining? Because my vout from the schematic is ~800 mV and here ~3.6E-5 V.

    ADS Layout output results

    Hi eveyone. I finished the layout, and now I was simulating the schematic from the layout. And the results are really different, from the schematic, which I had efficiency of 30%, and now for the final results the efficiency is basically 0. Moreover, the output is also pretty bad compared with...

    ADS Layout - tune parameters

    Ok... and how can I find that error?
  13. J

    ADS Layout - tune parameters

    I did that, but now I'm having huge difference between the results in the schematic and the results over the layout. From the schematic I had efficiency of 30%, and now the efficiency is basically 0. Moreover, the output is also pretty bad compared with the schematic. Is this normal? I believe...

    ADS Layout - tune parameters

    Oh got it! But, I tried now using order 1, to consider only the fundamental freq. and still can't perform the tuning, it claims that I need to simulate the cell first, which I did... Error detected by hpeesofsim during HB analysis 'HB1'. Fatal error occurred while evaluating model...
