I am simulating a Common Source FET amplifier in ADS, and analyzing S-Parameters, but I have a few questions.
The simulation result shows really bad S11 (close to 0 dB). I wonder if this is ok. I mean, the amp's input impedance is high, so the huge mismatch is causing this behavior.
The idea here is to use this as a voltage amplifier, not a power amplifier, so is it correct to say that the power reflection is not an issue, as long as a voltage appears in the output?
