Hi all,
I've had a look at the responses, but I'm not sure if they do what I was asking.
1. Origin. I've used this before and as I remember its a bit like microsoft excel. Am I looking at the wrong software? How would you use it to create an RLC model? thanks!
2. Aplac. Actually I haven't been able to get much information on this tool. Do you have any link which shows how it can accomplish what I need?
3. ADS. As I understand it, the only ways to do it in ADS are by manually curve fitting using the tuner, or using their own pre-defined networks. Am I missing something?
Manual curve fitting can be very tedious especially when the model becomes complicated. Also, the predefined models from ADS (ladder, pi, T...) sometimes result in models which lose their physical meaning or are overly complicated. This makes it difficult to find problem areas in the circuit and modify as necessary.
I figured that since all PDK inductors, capacitors and resistors (components really) need some RLC model, there would be some software which would automatically generate the parameters for a user-defined model based on S-parameters.
thanks, Aaron
