Hi all,

I am new to ADS and looking to simulate a RF power detector with a Schottky diode. I have created the diode model (see attached below) with all parasitic elements, but am struggling to simulate the whole circuit. Which solver/template should I use to do so ?
Ideally, I'd like to get a Vout vs. RFpower plot and the time response (Vout vs. time) at each power level (from -20 to 15 dBm). I am working at 868MHz.
Thanks for your help !

You should use harmonic balance simulation. This technique is suited for your circuit becuase harmonic simulation is designed for simulating nonlinear circuits such as yours. The result of the harmonic simulation is the steady state of the circuit.
