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.

 ADS: Create customized artwork cells using AEL code

In this application note, we will look at two different ways of using layout parameters for Momentum EM simulations:

• Use built-in parameters in layout created from standard circuit elements (microstrip line etc.)
• Parameterize manually drawn layout from rectangles/polygons

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.
