Dear Sir,

I am Sagar Mistry from System Level Solution PVT Ltd(India).

I required technical support and guidance regarding the simulation of two-port S- Parameter of NXP BGA6130 PA in Keysight ADS software.

I need to evaluate the Gain response of the BGA6130 PA over the frequency response by changing the value of the matching network.

I have used the BGA6130 Power amplifier in my following application and schematic file for your easy reference.

Please find the attached datasheet of BGA6130 PA for your reference.

Please find the following image regarding the more information of the simulation model of BGA6130 PA.

Also, find the attached file which more details regarding the simulation model for more reference.

I request you to guide me further regarding this.

Hope to hear from you at the earliest.

Dear Sagar Mistry,

Your first step is to request the simulation model file(s) for the BGA6130 from NXP. Preferably a Touchstone S-parameter file, since you are planning an S-parameter simulation. (Keysight does not (can not) provide (up to date) device models for all the parts of the world's RF component manufacturers.)

The S-parameter file can be referenced from an SnP component in ADS schematic and used as such to represent the behaviour of the BGA6031 in a circuit simulation together with the input and output matching networks.

Dear Sir,

Thanks for the support and valuable guidance.

I will get the s2p file of BGA6130 from the vendor.

But I m new to perform simulation in ads with snow file with input and output matching network.

It will be good if you share me more details or any document which will be helpful for me get the simulation of bga6130 RF power amplifier with input and output matching network.

One more point I need to optimize/tune the S21/gain response of this device with output matching network.

Since this is first time for me to tune S21 of any 2port device with help of matching network.

Kindly guide me further.

Hope to hear from you soon..

Thanks and regards,

Sagar Mistry

Dear Sagar Mistry,

I suggest you have look at this video: Getting Started with ADS - YouTube It provides a brief introduction to ADS (including tuning). For a more in-depth treatment of the capabilities and use of ADS (e.g. optimization), a Keysight training class is recommended. (A forum like this is not very suitable as a vehicle to teach the use of a design tool as sophisticated and feature-rich as ADS.)

I agree with Herman. Please contact your local Keysight EEsof account team in India in regards to enrolling in a training class. In addition, the Asia Technical Support center can offer assistance.
