Hi,
I'm designing a simple RF lumped elements BPF in ADS. I simulated its S21 using ideal LC components and also used real inductors and capacitors models from the manufacturers web sites. Then i wanted to run a monte carlo analysis to find out the components tolerance impact on S21. I encountered the following problems:
1. When using inductors from ADS Lumped-Components menu, there is no inductor modeled with a resonance parameter (SRF), which is important when operating in frequencies near resonance.
2. When using "real" inductors' model from the manufacturers web sites (i assume this model contains the SRF parasitics), the inductance tolerance rating, in the "edit component parameters", appears between commas and can not be indicated as a parameter for statistical analysis (monte carlo) or yield analysis.
Either way may inductor models are not complete for proper simulation.
I'll appreciate your help in this matter.
