Hello. Does anyone have any experience with using
Microwave Office (AWR)? It does not seem to have
any transistor models available. I am trying to
simulate certain circuits that involve RF transistors
but there are only generic ones with empty models.
Is there a way of adding models to the library or
do I have to fill in the model parameters (internal
capacitances, current gain,...) for every transistor
I want to use? Thanks a lot for the help.

Not sure what you mean about not having any models;
generic models or vendor models? It's got 16 generic
BJT models and 37 generic FET models. Anything else
it's up to the vendor to provide. Did you install
the vendor component libraries? If not then they
should still be available as long as you are not
behind a strict firewall.
There are a few
ways to use models.
1) Chose one from the
vendor library.
2) Enter the model parameters
manually into a generic model. Need teh vendors
SPICE or other model parameters for this.
3) Do the same as 2 but use a model block and
instance (really ment for IC scaled models)
4) Import a spice netlist. This will not work
for macro-models that use VSWITCH elements since
ideal switches really can't be simulated in harmonic
balance. However if you have the HSPICE option you
can edit it by hand to replace the VSWITCH with
a transconductance element.

regarding to microwave office, anyone haf the tutorials
for this software? i need to design microstrip
antenna arrays using this software.can someone help
me on this?

Dear Rising_Phoenix,
You can find RF transistor
models in the non-linear library. Thanks.

AWR has one knowledge base in their homepage.
You can access the knowledge base with a free
account. There are a lot of example and
tutorial material in the knowledge base.
