Dear all

I have this transistor " BLF6G21-10G " for my thesis.
I downloaded the model for ADS from here:
**broken link removed**


I downloaded the model but the Model needed some requirement as following:

"Model requires the RF LDMOS DesignKit library to be present (not included in the model distribution). To download it, visit:
**broken link removed**

Refer to the table to select the appropriate file.
Please install the RFLDMOS DesignKit library before installing the model.
"

I checked the website and there was compatible version with ADS 2011:lol:
So I downloaded and unzipped "NXP_RFLDMOS_v10p05_ADS2011.zip",
there was a file "lib.defs" in that folder so i easily added it to ADS 2011 but of coarse there was no " BLF6G21-10G " in it.

Then I unzipped "BLF6G21-10G.zip". but I don't know what to do with that?!?! There is no *.defs in that I searched it all. :?: what should I do next?

could anyone manage to see BLF6G21-10G in ADS schematic?
 

BLF6G21-10G.zip is compatible only with ADS2009U1 and prior,that's why it can not be used with ADS2011.
In order to use this particular model library, NXP_RFLDMOS_V10p05_ADS2008 PDK should be installed first with ADS2009U1 or prior then you should install BLF6G21-10G.zip as a Library.
I hope you understand..
 

well they added the new model for ADS 2011
I checked it again and they added the new model for ADS
I was suprised too! but still i coud not use it :-(
 

All you need is here **broken link removed** ....
Just find NXP_BLF6G21_10G_V0p10s_B4.s4p , extract it and use as simply S4P file... Yep, you'll be maybe missed original footprint and drawing, but at least you'll be able to simulate.

You didn't read what I have written...
It's not compatible with 2011.
 

It has been like that for 2 years between NXP & Agilent since the advent of ADS-2011. 2 years are a long time for product support, consider how fast other companies adapt their models to support Agilent. No one gave me a straight answer why these 2 don't work with each other. So I came up w/ my own solution a year ago.

1) NXP isn't the only company on earth making RF transistors.
2) ADS-2011 isn't the only simulation on earth.
3) 1 & 2 are exclusive or of each other.

So quit beating yourself into the wall.

Don't you think it may happen you have a task and you have predefined element base and you have to solve the task? Do you offer quit this job? :)
 

I read it carefully. Don't be so straight,the quit is not the option moreover if it is possible to use NXP models...
 

BLF6G21-10G.zip is compatible only with ADS2009U1 and prior,that's why it can not be used with ADS2011.

If you unzip the file, you wil find the s4p file here: NXP_BLF6G21_10G_V0p10s\circuit\data\NXP_BLF6G21_10G_V0p10s_B4.s4p
And that can, of course, be used with ADS2011 or other simulators.
 

I am assuming that anyone designing PA wants to have access into a non-linear model. The only way to access to non-linear models with NXP RF power components (like BLF6G21, BLF881 etc) is using ADS-2009U1 or below. Or MWO.
 

I have the same problem with BLL6H1214-500 of NXP in ads 2009. RF LDMOS library and model library is compatible for ads 2009 but I can not simulate this transistor
