SIMULATION and OPTIMIZATION DOCUMENTATION
Using Circuit Simulators Using the RF Design Environment simulation analyses: DC, AC, S-Parameter, Harmonic Balance, Circuit Envelope, Large-Signal S-Parameter, Transient/Convolution, and Wireless Test Bench.	DC Simulation Using the DC analysis to perform a topology check and an analysis of the DC operating point for all Analog/RF simulations.	AC Simulation Using the AC analysis to obtain small-signal transfer parameters such as voltage gain, current gain, and linear noise voltage and currents. It is typically used for filter and amplifier designs.
S-Parameter Simulation Using the S-parameter analysis to obtain linear S-parameter, linear noise parameters, transimpedance, transadmittance, and many goals of the AC simulator. It is typically used for filter, oscillator, and amplifier designs.	Harmonic Balance Simulation Using the Harmonic Balance analysis to find the steady-state solution in the frequency domain. It is typically used for mixer, oscillator, power amplifier, and transceiver designs. Includes a separate Guide to Harmonic Balance Simulation.	Circuit Envelope Simulation Using the Circuit Envelope analysis-a combination of frequency-and time-domain analysis techniques-for a fast and complete analysis of complex signals such as digitally modulated RF signals. It is typically used for mixer, oscillator, power amplifier, and transceiver, and phase-locked loop designs.
Large-Signal S-Parameter Simulation Using the LSSP analysis to perform large-signal S-parameter analyses for representing nonlinear behavior. The accompanying P2D simulator can be used to speed up subsequent analyses. It is typically used for power amplifier designs.	Transient/Convolution Simulation Using the Transient/Convolution analysis to solve a nonlinear circuit entirely in the time domain using simplified models to account for the frequency-dependent behavior of distributed elements. It is typically used for mixer, power amplifier, and switching circuit designs.	Wireless Test Bench Simulation Preconfigured test benches for simplified verification of systems using the 3GPP, TD-SCDMA, and WLAN wireless standards. Supports custom wireless test bench development and enable specification-compliant system testing compatible with Agilent signal generators and analyzers.
Connection Manager Using the Connection Manager to interface with instruments. Includes information on how to access and control instruments using ADS Dynamic Link in RFDE.	Simulator Expressions Simulator Functions to build expressions that process a simulation at run-time. Includes general information on structure and use, along with a detailed FUNCTION REFERENCE. Refer to the Measurement Expressions for information on post-processing simulation results.	Momentum Using layout designs to set up and perform electromagnetic simulations on passive, planar circuits. Includes information about viewing and analyzing various types of simulation data in Momentum Visualization, and improving circuit performance using Momentum Optimization.
Optimization and Statistical Design Using Optimization for automatic performance optimization based on a variety of optimizers, and Statistical Design to provide yield analysis and optimization.	Using Verilog-A in RFDE Using Analog/RF Verilog-A models in RFDE for basic Verilog-A modeling.	Verilog-A Reference Manual Developing and implementing models in RFDE using Verilog-A. Includes a complete reference guide to the language.
