bsource - convert to ADS
Apr 04th, 2011, 5:06pm
 
vb ( 3 2 ) bsource v = i(va)*5 + 1
va ( 2 1 ) vsource dc = 0

----------------------------
To convert the above netlist to a schematic in Agilent ADS, what's the right way? (Eqn based-nolinear component? Nonlinear CCVS?)

thanks

thanks for hint.
not sure if SDD1P or SDD2P should be used.
tried SDD2P.
could you comment the attached screen capture?

If I were doing it, I'd use a simple CCVS with a gain of 5 in series with a 1-V dc voltage source.

(I don't know what SDD1P is.)

SDD1P = symbolically defined device - one port (I believe)

This seems all very complicated if all you want is a 5 Ohm resistor in series with a 1V voltage source.

thanks Geoffrey and Ken.

I'll think more about the model and try the schematics  as you suggested.

Ken's absolutely right (unless node "2" has other connections ...).
