Hi,
I want to simulate my Microwave 1GHz PCB in ADS. its PCB is extracted from the sample PCB in the datasheet. I got Gerber output from my PCB and ran co-simulation on that. now I want to place discrete component (resistor and capacitor) along with my PCB co-simulated schematic in schematic cell in ADS. the companies which produced those capacitors and resistors are determined in the datasheet but the problem is that the library for those companies are not available in ADS.
so what should I do?
2 solution to this problem comes to my mind:
1) I can use the C_pad1 model and then define the values of capacitors and resistors and their dimensions as per their datasheets. definitely I want to simulate my design in schematic. but I expect that dimension of my PCB and capacitor layout have the same proportion as the datasheet sample PCB. I mean , in layout, the dimensions of the capacitors for example, was much larger than that shown in the datasheet. maybe that is because of that I can not define the tolerance of dimensions in ADS.
2) I can use murata library in ADS. BUT, for a certain value of capacitor, murata capacitor may have a different dimensions compared to for example, ATC capacitors. I worry the differences between their dimension can change the result of simulations.
what should I do then?
any help would be appreciated.
thank you
