Abstract:
This lab is an introduction to ADS (Advanced Design System) which supports every step of the
design process i.e. schematic capture, layout, design rule checking, frequency-domain and time-
domain circuit simulation, and electromagnetic field simulation allowing the engineer to fully
characterize and optimize an RF design without changing tools.

Objectives:
 Examine the Main window commands and icons
 Create a new project and schematic design
 Setup and perform a basic resistor circuit and verify OHM’s law
 Display the simulation data on a plot and save files

Exercise:
Plot the following circuit using ADS

Plot the graph of IC Vs VCE with following sweep values

EE-342 Microwave Engineering Page 4

VCE: 0 to 10 volts, step size = 1 volt

IB: .1 mA to 1 mA, step size = .1mA

BJT used in the circuit is “AT41411” that is accessible from the component library. To put this
component, use following procedure

Select Insert Menu -> Component -> Component library

In the Component library window, select “Packaged BJTs” under RF Transistor library. Press the
“Find components” button in toolbar and write “AT41411” and press “Apply”. Select the
component in search result and then click in the schematic window to place the component. The
Current Source “I_DC” is available under “Source-Freq Domain” palette

Conclusion:
In this lab we learned simulation on software ADS (Advanced Design System). In first task,
voltage is varied from 0 to 10 V across 50 ohms resistance and result is plotted and then
resistance is varied from 10 to 50 ohms and results are plotted. In exercise part, collector emitter
voltage VCE is plotted against collector current IC. ADS proved to be useful in running
simulations of circuits.
