    This document discusses techniques for efficiently calculating and displaying circuit envelope simulation data in ADS. It recommends defining an intermediate variable from the output signal to speed up calculations and displays of metrics like adjacent channel power ratio. Examples are given showing how to extract the fundamental frequency component of an output signal and use it in equations to plot the output spectrum and trajectory diagram more efficiently. The document also provides an overview of new and improved data display capabilities in ADS compared to previous versions, such as using marker readouts in equations and viewing multi-dimensional datasets in tabular format.

    HINT Efficiently Calculate

    Circuit Envelope Simulation Data

    6 When doing calculations with


    or displaying Circuit Envelope
    data, calculations are much
    faster if you define an interme-
    diate variable. For example, if
    you simulate an amplifier with
    a digitally-modulated input
    signal in order to calculate the
    adjacent-channel power ratio
    or plot a trajectory diagram,
    you must extract the resulting
    fundamental frequency
    component, which is a function
    of time. For example, to see
    the resulting output spectrum
    near the fundamental fre-
    quency,
    use the following equations:
    Voutfund=Vout[1]
    Spectrum=dBm(0.5*fs(Voutfund,,,,,"Kaiser))
    Trajectory=vs(imag(Voutfund),real(Voutfund))
    This will lead to faster data
    display calculations than using
    Vout[1] directly in all of the
    expressions.

    Using New and Improved
    Data Display Capabilities HINT
    Data display has been
    improved over MDS and Series
    IV, although not all capabilities
    in MDS and Series IV are
    9
    available in the first release of
    the HP Advanced Design Sys-
    tem. Some nice features
    include:
    You can use marker
    read-outs in equations.
    For example, filter band-
    width or third-order inter-
    cept point of a mixer can be
    calculated from marker
    readouts.
    You can view matrices of
    data in tabular format,
    two-dimensions at a time.
    To facilitate viewing
    results, you can scroll
    through long lists of data
    and plots.
    Refer to the examples file
    /Tutorial/express_meas_prj
    for many interesting and
    useful ways to manipulate Figure 1. Plots from ConstEVM.dds

    When you run a swept sim-
    ulation, such as Circuit
    Envelope, the node volt-
    ages and other variables
    output to the dataset are
    multi-dimensional. Use the
    what function to see the
    independent variables and
    their dimensionality.
