Mühlhaus Circuit Model Fit is an ADS add-on to create accurate, reliable circuit models from silicon RFIC inductor S-parameters. The workflow is fast, easy to use and fully automated. Symmetric and asymmetric inductors are supported, with or without center tap.
In this application note, we look at two methods of sweeping over a list of S-parameter files: using a look up table and using sprintf() string function to build filenames.
Sweep over many S-Parameter files: look up table or sprintf()?
Inspired by our popular RFIC Inductor Toolkit for Silicon technologies, several ADS users have been asking for an MMIC version that addresses III-V technologies. This new MMIC Inductor Toolkit is ready for release now, with special early bird discounts:
In this appnote, we will look at different ways of using equations in ADS:
We will also discuss the re-use of custom equations/functions. All these concepts are shown with a simple example.

In this application note, AEL programming is applied to create a fully scalable layout of to the miniaturized band pass filter by Sheng Zhang et al, published in Microwave Journal March 2017
Miniaturized Bandpass Filter Using Quarter SIW Resonator With Elliptic Defected Structure
This fully parametric layout cell can then be used in ADS for analysis, parameter sweep or optimization with Momentum.

This application note is a simplified version of an earlier global-ground-or-differential-ground appnote,
with a special focus on SMD port calibration in ADS Momentum, and how to use it properly.
The Inductor Toolkit GPDK demo was updated for compatibility with ADS 2016 HF1

In this application note, we will look at the basics of AEL programming for customized layout (“artwork”) and how to include that in your ADS project.
In this application note, we will look at two different ways of using layout parameters for Momentum EM simulations:
We will discuss the use EM results of parameterized blocks in a schematic, with emSetup/emModel views.
A basic understanding of Momentum mesh setup etc. is required. Those details are not discussed again in this document.
Muehlhaus Inductor Toolkit for ADS assists you to synthesize the best possible RFIC inductor layout.
The software has now been updated to support ADS2015.01.
The free version for GPDK180 technology (fully functional until 30 June 2015) can be found here:
