The Advanced Design System (ADS) Passive Circuit DesignGuide provides you with synthesis and analysis of commonly used microstrip components familiar to microwave designers, such as branch-line couplers, Wilkinson dividers, coupled line filters, quarter-wave matching networks and lumped-element matching networks. This DesignGuide enables you to design, simulate and optimize passive circuit components quickly and easily. The DesignGuide contains SmartComponents, which includes couplers, filters, power dividers, matching networks and reactive elements. It also contains automated assistants for the design, simulation, optimization, and performance analysis of passive microstrip structures. The automation assistant includes design and simulation assistants, optimization assistant and data display of specifications. Over 45 parameterized Components are available in which schematics are synthesized with correct layout.

The Passive Circuit DesignGuide is integrated into the W2200 ADS Core Environment. Learn more about ADS Core.
