Hi, ALL,
For one NXP LDMOS, AFT09MS015N, in its datasheet, NXP presents a test circuit for 870M, and get good gain performance.
But I simulated the test circuit in AWR, and can't positive gain, all the S21 are negative in wide band.
So I wonder where is the fault in my simulation?
Possible wrongs:
1. The bias circuit is not given by NXP and this may cause negative S21.
2. The circuit presented by NXP is wrong.
Who can help to check??
I simulated by Fig4 and Fig 5 in the datasheet, and the AWR file is attached. Since this forum can not upload AWR *.emp file, I changed the file format to *.emp.txt. When you want to open it in AWR, just change the file extension from *.emp.txt back to *.emp.
Cheers,
Tony Liu

It seems the PA S params is wrong, let me check.

I finally download the right S-param, and the issue solved. Thanks.
