ADS-Transient simulation with schematic including a block of s2p file
I am simulating a schematic in time domain (transient simulation) which includes a block defined by a s2p file.
I need to figure out what kind of algorithm(equations) ADS uses to extract the results in time domain?
Thanks in advance
ADS build FIR filter model from S-Parameter.
Then it is used as convolution in transient analysis.
See http://edocs.soco.agilent.com/displa...ion+Simulation
Thank you so much, I will read it and if I have furthur question I will ask you.
Dear Pancho
I searched but I didn't find how we can build a FIR filter from S2P file and also how we can use it to perform transient analysis.
Would you please explain a little more about the process or put a link to help.
Thanks
(1) Convert {s11,s12,s21,s22} to {y11,y12,y21,y22}.
(2) Calculate impulse responses of {y11,y12,y21,y22} by IFFT(Inverse FFT) of {y11,y12,y21,y22}.
(3) Evaluate i1(t) and i2(t) by convolving impulse responses of {y11,y12,y21,y22} with v1(t) and v2(t).
Dear Friends,
I have gotten an "impulse response" for my s2p block using impulsewriter.
Now I need to apply this impulse response to my circuit to find voltages and currents of a step-function source. How can I do that? which simulation do this? how can I read this .imp file to a component in my circuit?
Please help, I need it ASAP
tnx
You don't have to evaluate impulse response.
Simply run transient analysis using s2p block.
I simulated s2p file in transient simulation but according to the document I have attached but because of problems of causality and passivity, agilent suggests it is better to use Impulsewriter. I simulated it in transient but the results were not reasonable. What do you suggest?
I can not give any advice unless you show profile of your s2p block and necessary frequency bandwidth required for step response evaluation.
