ADS - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi,

Can any one tell me how do I import an HSPICE level 49 spice model to ADS?

I used the "import" in ADS and used the "design parameter", created a new bitmap for symobol, added it to pallete, and library browser, added a "netlist include" statement in my schematics........ but somehow the simulator doesn't associate my new symbol with the spice model, sometimes I get error about port matching..... the transistor is a four terminal device so I used a one of the existing symbol for MOSFET but I still got this error.

Has any one imported a hspice model to ADS and used it in their schematics for creating Amplifier?

Can you please write down the steps in reply?

thanks,

use a feature called ADS netlist import

from the main window , select import and select netlist file

in more options , select netllist type HSPICE

and make it genrate ADS netlist

this will generate a *.net file which contains the transformed model to ADS model

i have used this many time , and it is succeeded
