Port Setup in ADS 2013 for Coplanar Designs

Hello,

I'm designing a GSG coplanar circuit. I have pads at the input and output for ground-signal-ground connections. I also have pads for biasing in a power-ground-power configuration. And I also have internal ports for connections to devices such as FETs and capacitors for an EM co-simulation.

I've used ADS 2009 a little bit in the past but I'm unsure how to setup ports in the new ADS 2013 for this kind of coplanar design. If someone could explain how to setup and calibrate these 3 connection types (GSG, PGP and internal) I would be very grateful.

edit: I should mention that I'm using microwave momentum for the simulation.

I found out how to set up the ports - in case anyone find themselves in the same boat as me. To set up a G-S-G connection with ports P1 (signal), P2 and P3 (gnd) go to the port editor and expand the P1, P2, and P3 sections. Each port has a '+' and '-' terminal, in this case '-' is gnd. Drag and drop the P2 '+' terminal into the P1 '-' terminal, and do the same for P3. P2 and P3 should then show up in the '-' terminal of the P1 port. To set up internal ports set calibration to none.
