 MMIC Designers: Create your own passive planar EM models 

Did you know that included with your ADS Linear Simulator is a very easy tool for generating accurate EM models for existing passive planar elements? Model Composer creates them using a patented modeling method that is EM based. You can use these models as you would other ADS microstrip components but gain EM accuracy at traditional circuit simulation speeds.

How to Achieve High-Yield Designs for RFICs

Being able to understand the variability of your circuits is important when trying to achieve high production yields. Running Monte Carlo simulations on the extracted views of RFICs would normally not be considered because of the length of time to run the simulations. Read Making Monte Carlo Simulations Viable within an RFIC Design Flow and learn about a new technique available to help you in understanding the yield you will obtain in production.
