RFIC Inductor Model Fit version 1.4.0 is now available and compatible with ADS 2017.
Previous versions will not start simulation automatically with ADS 2017, and give an error message “The specified window does not contain a design (no application data). A schematic, symbol or layout window is must be specified.” This issue is fixed with RFIC Inductor Model Fit version 1.4.0
A similar issue is also seen with RFIC Inductor Toolkit on ADS 2017. An update will be available in January 2018.

This tutorial video shows how to configure/customize Inductor Toolkit Generic for a different RFIC technology.
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
