HP ADS SIMULATION EXAMPLE – Performing Small Signal AC Analysis on a BJT circuit. Steps: First run DC simulation (This is optional if the bias point details are already known) to determine the active device is correctly biased. Then run AC simulation. Deactivate the DC simulation while running AC simulation. The basic schematic: Figure 1 – Running the DC simulation with the dc annotated results. Figure 2 – Deactivating the DC simulation tab and activating the AC simulation tab, running the AC simulation. Figure 3 – The small signal AC simulation result. Using Equations in the data display to determine AC gain: Figure 4 – Magnitude and phase of gain using equations in the Data Display. EXTRA: Each data in this example is either an array or matrix. The elements of the array/matrix can be real or complex. To obtain information about the results, we can use the built-in function what( ). Example: Figure 5 – Using the What( ) function in the data display.
