RF Design Blogs

Hello Spectre Users,

Simulating S-parameters in a time domain (transient, periodic steady state) simulator has been and continues to be a challenge for many analog and RF designers.

I'm often asked:

• What is required in order to achieve accurate results when simulating in a time-domain simulator?
• How can you identify problematic S-parameter data before you start simulation?
• What are some methods of troubleshooting accuracy and convergence issues after simulation (both manual and automated techniques)?

I'll answer these questions and more at the 2017 International Microwave Symposium, June 4-9 in Honolulu, Hawaii in my MicroApp Presentation: 7 Habits of Highly Successful S-Parameters:  How to Simulate Those Pesky S-Parameters in a Time Domain Simulator.

If you're at the conference, please stop by the Cadence booth and say hello. I really enjoy meeting my customers "live and in person" at these events. 

If you cannot attend and have access to Cadence Online Support  check out Article 46117179  7 Habits of Highly Successful S-Parameters .

Hope to see you In Honolulu!

best regards,
