Designing an Advanced MMIC Amplifier
애플리케이션 노트
There are many design steps required for the development and manufacture of MMIC circuits, as illustrated in the MMIC Design Flow. Advanced Design System (ADS) is a central part of the complete MMIC design flow, and is used throughout this process. This application note illustrates, through the design of an MMIC amplifier, several of the common problems faced in designing, simulating, and producing a physical layout of an MMIC circuit, as well as the validation steps that are needed to verify that the physical layout still produces the desired result. It is beyond the scope of this note to describe all possible design specifications for an MMIC circuit, but it does include enough specification and design steps to address many common design challenges.
Please be aware that the example provided is over 20 years old. Although it remains valuable, there have been significant enhancements to Advanced Design System (ADS) for Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) design. Additionally, there are numerous new examples accessible to supported customers for download from our Knowledge Center.
