Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all
the responses to the original posts.

I wonder how to simulate follwing condition correctly:
I have a Transistor with a connection lead of 12 mm width. My first matching element has a width of 23mm. I have a large signal model of the transistor for my simulator (ADS). Das anyone konw, how to simulate the behaviour correctley?
Transistor -> Microstripline (width 23mm),
or
Transisor -> Impedance Step (12mm -> 23mm) -> Microstip (23mm)
Both simulatons show different results.
Would be happy for the comments from you.
Ingo

The second option which you mentioned, namely to use an impedance step is the right one. Of course that both simulations show different results, because you have a discontinuity in the impedance if you don't use an impedance step, and therfore you get an impedance mismatch and poor return loss.
