1. Introduction

The purpose of this instruction manual is to guide the customer through to

process of installing the NXP RF Small Signal design kit for the Agilent RF

simulator ADS.

1.1 Content of the Design Kit

The NXP RF small signal design kit version 1.0 currently consists of the following

devices:

? RF Wideband devices

? RF Diodes

? RF Junction Fet’s

? RF dual-gate MOSFet’s

? RF MMIC’s

1.2 Models and data

The following models and/or data is available in the design kit, for simulating the

TF circuits:

? SPICE parameters

? S-parameters

? Noise parameters

? Data sheets

It should be noted, that not all above-mentioned data is available for all devices.

The availability per device can be recognized in the associated icon by color.

2. Installing Instructions

The sections below will describe the installing instructions for the case that no

design kit has been installed yet, and the case an update of the design kit has to

replace the former version.

2.1 Case 1: First time installing of the NXP RF Small Signal Design Kit.

1. Copy the file nxp_rf_smallsignal_v1.zip in the ADS home directory

2. Close all ADS schematics

3. In the main window of ADS, select “Design Kit -? Install Design Kits……” (See

Fig. 1)

Fig 1. ADS Design Kit installation menu

4. Select ‘Unzip Design Kit Now …..’, and browse “Unzip File” to the file

nxp_rf_smallsignal_v1.zip, leave To Directory as it is, Press OK. The Design Kit

will no be installed.

5. Exit and restart ADS

2.2 Case 2: Old version of the NXP RF Small Signal Design Kit installed.

1. Copy the file nxp_rf_smallsignal_v1.zip in the ADS home directory

2. Close all ADS schematics

3. In the main window of ADS, select “Design Kit -? Setup Design Kits……” (See

Fig. 2)

4. REMOVE the older version of the RF Small Signal design kit (NOT just Disable)

5. Apply the changes

6. Exit and restarts ADS

7. Close all ADS schematics

8. In the main window of ADS, select “Design Kit -? Install Design Kits……”

Fig 2. ADS set-up design kit menu

9. Select ‘Unzip Design Kit Now …..’, and browse “Unzip File” to the file

nxp_rf_smallsignal_v1.zip, leave To Directory as it is, Press OK. The Design Kit will no be installed.

10. Exit and restart ADS

3. User Instruction

After re-start of the ADS system, five new items will be displayed, as shown in

Figure 1.

Fig 3. NXP design kit appearance in the menu

By clicking on one of the items, a new pallet will be opened, as can be observed

in Fig. 4

Fig 4. Icon arrangement of the models

As can be observed, the text associated with the icons is in green or blue, to

distinguish between the S-parameters (green colored text) and SPICE

parameters (blue colored text). By selecting e.g. a S-parameter dataset, a two

port representation (Fig. 5A, 2-ports and one reference) will be placed on the

circuit page (see Fig. 5a)

a. Two port S-parameter representation

b. Bias conditions and help

Fig 5. S-parameter dataset and bias conditions

By editing the component, a new window (see Fig. 5b) will be opened, were all

available bias conditions of the device can be selected. By selecting the help

button, the datasheet of the device will be opened as pdf file (an Acrobat reader

has to be installed)
