    LNA + SAW Filter for L1 and L5 gps systems on SIM66MD

    If that module has one Input, you can use a switch to use both bands. The insertion loss will be higher in this case but no other choice.

    [SOLVED] HF AND V/UHF IMPEDANCES NETWORK MATCHING

    Have you ever checked that the cable can carry 100 W RF Power ?? It's worthy to note.

    Can I obtain S11 values vs Time?

    No, . But if you want to see how an input Impedance is changing by time, you can use Envelope Simulation based on Harmonic Balance. You measure complex voltage and current at a node then divide this two quantities to find input impedance. This method is frequently used in switched RF Power...

    Can I obtain S11 values vs Time?

    s-parameters are defined in LTI domain.

    Have trouble with biasing Cree transistor

    Simple... Terminate the Input by 50 Ohm and connect SA to the Output. Even-tough the amplifier is not properly biased, you can see the oscillation if there is. Perhaps the transistor biasing is swinging due to eventual oscillation ?? Are you sure ?

    [SOLVED] How to import s2p file into NPORT element of Cadence Spectre and achieve correct simulation result?

    OK, I missed the port impedances. You set Port1 to 600 Ohm, Port2 to 50 Ohm. You cannot do that. Spectre n-port device accepts-IMHO- Touchstone or similar s-parameters definition format and there is only ONE Port Impedance in it. So you should enter either 50 Ohm OR 600 Ohm but not both. If you...

    Have trouble with biasing Cree transistor

    It does not mean that the amplifier doesn't oscillate. You should observe eventual oscillations up to 30 GHz with Spectrum Analyzer.

    [SOLVED] How to import s2p file into NPORT element of Cadence Spectre and achieve correct simulation result?

    It's an interpolation problem. You have to simulate your RLC circuit with smaller frequency steps. Because Spectre interpolates s-parameters during frequency band and this error occurs in second simulation testbench. Don't be afraid, use much smaller frequency steps to get much healthy results.

    Have trouble with biasing Cree transistor

    There is sequence that must be strictly followed up for biasing GaN RF transistors. Have you conformed this ?? Otherwise the transistor blows due to excess drain current.(particularly it occurs when the gate bias is applied as 0 volt with Vds is presented)

    Two stage amplifer

    You should design a DC Coupled Amplifier for lower frequencies.

    ESD device model library by foundry

    ESD Devices will not be functional under normal operating conditions. Their performances are just measured not simulated. So, you don't need a model for them. Some important parameters are given (capacitances, breakdown voltages etc.) otherwise models of a ESD device is useless.

    [SOLVED] How to implement mosfet with large width

    It's an unusual W/L ratio. How much current will flow through this MOS Transistor ??

    Question About the PM of a PLL

    It's an unusual PLL Loop Filter characteristic. There must be somewhere errors.

    How to use Icesd1_rf?

    Using ESD Diodes is pretty simple. Cathodes are connected to VDD, Anodes are connected to GND. They are just use to protect the rest of circuit against ESD zapps. If you want to get more information, refer to PDKs documents. There might be some variants regarding to using purposes but principle...

    Design of a C band LNA

    OK, Differential CasCode configuration with Source regeneration might give you a desired or near to wanted results. Here the problem is the stability. at higher Power Gain. Why I say differential, because make a differential amplifier stable is easier. Also obtaining Low Noise specification with...
