Optimization of Matching Network in Cadence

Hi All

As a part of understanding how to optimize matching networks in cadence I am designing a matching network to match 10 ohm load to 50 ohms source at 6Ghz. I am using simple L matching network and I know all the equations required. I come up with the required values of L and C. Simulation shows real part of input impedance to be 50 ohms when I use ideal inductor and capacitor. Now I keep ideal capacitor and use inductor provided by tsmc 0.13um process. As expected (because of component Q) real part of input impedance is dropped to 45 ohms. I want to know how I can use cadence to automatically optimize this or any other matching network. I found that ADE GXL can be used for optimization but when I read the manual I thought it can be used for only Anlog Circuits (matching devices etc). Please let me know how I can use cadence to do the optimization of matching networks.

Thanks in Advance

    Hi Tawna

    I was looking for tutorial on Optimization of matching network in Cadence and came across this particular RF design forum topic. Is there any tutorial available now? If yes, please let me know where can I get it or if there is any other better way you can suggest. I tried to find in GXL user manual but couldn't get.

    Regards
