Who should attend?
This training class is designed for engineers with an RF/microwave background who are involved in high-speed mixed-signal design and for engineers with high-level expertise who are looking for improving in-depth knowledge on high-speed digital simulation techniques.
Come and learn more about how to close your design on specification and schedule using the latest HSD Design and Verification solutions.
Day 1: Introduction to ADS environment
- Create an L-C ladder segment, parameterize it, convert it to a transmission line model by copy step/repeat.
- Use the analytical results for TL’s, compute Z0/beta and demonstrate behavior of this ideal line vs. frequency and then in time-domain using a transient analysis with a bit sequence.
- Learn how to create schematics, data display for freq/time domains, tuning, parameterization.
- Introduce distributed components as multilayer/microstrip/striplines, and concept of impedance mismatch
Basics of layout
- WYSIWYG vs. net-based mode, technology files, ODB++ import, navigator, how to define net names (Lab with Panda Board)
