Construction of RF and microwave component model library based on ADS

In the complete R&D process for complicated communication system, EDA simulation is one of the most important and straightforward approaches to verify the system performance at the early stage, and also the best method to discover problems and optimize designs. With the library of RF component model including linear and nonlinear models, the parameters of component could be denoted in simulation. This model library can be easily expand to new components with circuit diagram or measurement data and will ensure the efficiency of RF system development.
