Hi, Gurus,
I am not familiar with ADS HB simulation.
As attachment, in my HB simulations, I used a balun, T1-6T-KK81, with its S-params, and used an OpA, with its Time domain setting.
Although the simulation is done, I wonder if it is right to mix S-Params and time domain setting? And wonder ADS can calculate the gain right or not? The gain is in power or in voltage?
The gain expression is in another thread I posted.
Sorry in two posts because I later wonder the calculation method.
Best,
Tony Liu

Your OpAmps have been defined as Behavioral so you can use them in any Transient,HB or Small-Signal simulations.Since the Load Impedance is not defined, ADS will calculate the Gain as Open Circuit Voltage Gain.
But if you connect a Load, you can also find Power Gain, Current Gain etc.. with Source resistance
Don't drive a circuit with a ideal voltage source if you would find Power Gain.It's undefined..
