Hello everybody, I am new to ADS and I am trying to simulate a switching PIN diode.
Please refer to the attached schematic. I have set the ParamSweep block so that the diode is reverse biased. The crossed-out block is the ADS model of Skyworks SMP1320-075LF PIN diode that I have downloaded from their website; I tried using an ideal (or close to that) model of ADS and even that did not work; in all cases, I keep getting the capacitors connected to ground even with the diode reverse-biased. I plot S(2,1) vs. freq. and see that the response is identical regardless of the diode bias.
What am I doing wrong here? Please advise.
