Keysight ADS, how do I optimize for an expression in data view?

Hi,

I am designing a mixer in ADS and using mixer design guide, available in ADS to set up the testbench. In particular, I am using this template:


In data view, it has a lot of equations to calculate all sorts of things like gain, impedances, spectra, etc.

I am interested in optimizing my design for down conversion gain as shown below:


However, in the schematic window, in a "Goal" component, how do I ask ADS to optimize for this variable - "ConvGain_Dwn" ?

It seems ADS simply does not allow this? Unless, I missed something.
I tried copying over the relevant equations into the schematic in a "var" component, but then it complains that "mix()" function does not exist.

Is this possible to do or I'm out of luck?
 

Data display is postprocessing, so these caculations are not available to the optimizer.
You need to use MeasEqn in your schematic, and insert the (relevant) calculations that are shown above in data display.

kindly tell me how to display conversion gain for this .i am confused.in the default data display also i am not getting anything like you have shown.please help me
