    Injecting noise to see Bit error rate response of coaxial cable

    Hi I'm experimenting with power line communication by connecting 2 modems (Texas Instuments PLC developer's kits) through 100m of RG58 coaxial cable as a model power line and injecting white gaussian noise with a signal generator. The modems exchange modulated packets of data shown in fig 1. I...

    [SOLVED] Mini Circuits TCM2-33X+ S3P touchstone format

    Hi all I'm trying to use the TCM2-33X+ transformer from mini circuits in an ADS simulation. Unfortunately their downloaded s parameters are 'not a valid touchstone format'. Could someone show me how to convert the file (shown attached) into a valid format ADS can use for an S3P model?

    Modeling a HMC220 Hittite Mixer in Agilent ADS

    Hi all Fairly straightforward, I want to recreate the graphs on the HMC220 Hittite Mixer datasheet in ADS using a component model and information from the datasheet, not using the s parameter data files. Specifically the Return loss graph at LO=+10dBm (shown below) This is ultimately for...

    Mixer MxN Spur table into IMT file

    Hi all I'm trying to model the Hittite HMC220 mixer in Agilent ADS by transferring data from the MxN Spurious Outputs table in the datasheet into an IMT file, then using the MixerIMT2 component from the ADS palette to simulate the response. Agilent have a page on IMT file formats: **broken...

    .CSV file use in ADS

    The only VNA I have access to right now is so old it only uses floppy disks. There's no option for s2p unfortunately. Cheers for that!

    .CSV file use in ADS

    Hi all. I've got 4 .csv excel files from a network analyser. Is there any way to import them into ADS without downloading a CSV to .mdf /.mdif or s2p converter? If not, is there any way to convert to s2p format without a converter? Thanks!

    Low noise amplifier stability, noise figure and gain

    Right got it. Lesson learned on the vias. Eliminated the second feedback loop, stuck in 33nF and a 0.1pF coupling capacitors (with individual vias) each on the drain and gate. Also Some adjustment of the microstrip lines to make it practically solderable. Got 1.2 minimum stability for the mu...

    Low noise amplifier stability, noise figure and gain

    Hi all Got some screenshots attached for a low noise amplifier using an ATF-34143 FET from avago. The objective is to create this amplifer on a PCB with the following specs: 1. Unconditional stability across 0-18 GHz 2. S21 > 15dB between 1.5-1.6 GHz 3. noise figure < 1dB between 1.5-1.6 GHz...

    [SOLVED] ATF-34143 ADS model to S2P file S parameter comparison in ADS

    Hi What I'm trying to do is create a bias network for avago ATF-34143 transistor model in ADS which matches the plotted S parameters of an S2P file to that of an ADS model of the transistor with a bias circuit. Bias at VDS=3 V, IDS=40 mA. Both the model and the S2P file of the transistor are...

    [Moved] 1.5GHz LNA biasing network using ATF-34143

    Hi all I'm trying to design a low noise amplifier with these specifications: Frequency: 1.5GHz Gain>15dB noise figure <1dB unconditionally stable K>1 I'm using Avago ATF-34143 HEMT as the active device. I'm quite new to this, I've found tons of stuff online about LNAs but very little on how to...
