ADS can be used for layout if your PDK has layout features for ADS.Otherwise it should have "Cadence Virtuoso Layout tool(s)" feature.( Maybe both..)
After finishing the layout, you have to do " Design Rule Checking" (DRC) and "Layout Versus Schematic" ( LVS) to be sure that your layout is error-free and the layout is %100 replica of the schematic.
Then you prepare GDS II file and send it to your foundry...
*Wait 5 to 12 weeks then you will be regretted for being as Design Engineer..

Last was a joke.. good luck anyway..

how to find gain error and phase error of balun-lna in ads.

By doing s-parameters simulation.If you balun has 3 ports, check db(S(3,1)) and dB(S(2,1)) for gain imbalancing and phase(S(3,1)) and phase(S(2,1)) for phase imbalancing.
