I have a question about ADS smilation, can someone help me? - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

When I do Transient simulate using the ADS, it always said that the iternal timestep *** to small at time ***, and I can't find the answer from the help files of the ADS,can someone help me to solve this problem? Thanks a lot

If I'm not mistaken, ADS' transient simulation uses adaptive time steps - if a change of any variable is too big from one instant to another, or if a circuit fails to converge (that is, the voltages and currents can't be made to be consistent), then it shrinks the time step and tries again.

Circuits with high Q can cause problems with transient simulations - if you accidentally have a high-Q resonance, that could be your problem. On the other hand, if you intentionally have a high-Q resonance, then you'd best be prepared to do a lot of work!

Good Luck!

Thanks for your reply.
In my circuit I use a delay unit to delay the signal, is it the problem?
If the Q value is too high, can I reduce it? Or other methods, can you tell me how I to do?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
