Hi All,
Somewhat new to ADS so forgive the newbie question. I'm trying to simulate matching networks in a push-pull RF power amplifier. The datasheet for my RF transistor gives Drain-drain impedances. I saw an application note here from Freescale called EB212 with information on how to enter theses into an S1P file ready for simulation....

I note in figure 10 on page 5 they are calling this an S2P file whereas I think that's a typo and its an S1P file. Is that correct?
Also, in figure 12 on the next page they are using a S1P data block with pins 1 & 2 connected to the matching network and no ground reference.
Is that ok, can you do that? Will the circuit be properly balanced?
My ADS does not show pins 1 & 2 but pins 1 & Ref for a 1-port SNP data block.
Thanks!
