Modeling a Varactor Diode

MTalha
MTalha 10 months ago

I am trying to model this varactor diode from MACOM MA46H120. The spice model is given by the company but using ADS 
https://cdn.macom.com/files/MAVR-000120_MA46H120SPICE-ADSModel.pdf

I tried different diode models in AWR but none of the yields to same results as in ADS. I know this more likely because of the models are based on different equations. Is there a diode model in AWR same as of ADS because most diodes models are given in ADS.

    Hi MTalha,

    If you are able, can you file a support ticket at support.cadence.com?  We've had a chance to look at your screenshots and I think we have some specific settings you can implement here.
