Hi!
I've designed a detector circuit for 434 MHz in Eagle. In front of the diode is only the the matching network and a SMA connector. First I tried to calculate the components of the matching network with standard formulas, but measurements with out network analyzer showed that the matching could be better. Now I want to simulate the HF part of the circuit. In the simulation the influences of the pads and the lines should be considered. I also got files with the s parameters of my conductors and inductors. I already exported the board layout from Eagle in a DXF file that maybe can imported by a EM simulator software.
What software would you use for this purpose? I already tried to create a simulation in AWR Microwave Office ... I imported the DXF file so that I've got a simulatable EM Structure. But I don't know how to bring this EM Structure together with my passive components. Does somebody know that?
Thanks for your help!
