How to use S-parameter data files in ADS Ray Woodward Cynthia Furse Utah State University

This tells how to design a diode detector circuit to convert AC to DC voltage Read through the whole tutorial before you start. You will go through two sections: Simulation and Layout

Simulation Use this (as you have in previous tutorials) to simulate the RF performance of your circuit. You need to include the lengths of all lines (including the pads for soldering elements to). These are found in the layout section, so you will do some back-and-forth between layout and simulation. Some elements are available in the standard libraries (the cap in this lab), others are not (the diode in this lab). When they are not available, you will have to “create” them using user-defined S-parameters and lines (MLIN). These can come from data sheets (like the HP website) or from measurements (like for this lab).

Layout: “Artwork” is used to define the size and shape of solder connects for components like capacitors, diodes, RF chips, etc. The dimensions of solder pads (where you actually connect your circuit) are specified on data sheets. They are also available in the libra “library” for many standard elements. The size of pads add length to your lines, so you will need to include them in your simulation for most accurate results. This means you need to figure out their size before you simulate the circuit, so you will do some back-and-forth between layout and simulation.

Simulation: First you need the S-parameters of your diode….

There are two ways to get your S-parameters: Measure them (most accurate) Find them on the web or other data sheet (we’d like this to be most accurate, but for this lab it isn’t) These methods are described below, for your reference. Measured values are given at the end.

To measure S-parameters of the diode Build the circuit with just a length of line attached to the device. Measure the input impedance using the network analyzer Compensate for the length of the line to find the S-parameters of your device (matlab code to do this is included)

OR: To find the S parameters of your HP hsms2850 diode, Look on this web page:http://www.semiconductor.agilent.com/rf/hprfhelp/products/diodes/hsms285x.htm#s-data

Copy and Paste the data into a text file (diode. txt) Copy and Paste the data into a text file (diode.txt). Put this text file into your project directory. S11 (Mag, Phase(degrees))

You may have measured or acquired only the S11 values of a diode. Find the other S-parameters (such as with the matlab code found at http://www.engineering.usu.edu/classes/ece/6130/LECTURE/ LAB/L4/CalcSparam.m), and create a text file that has 2-port S-parameters as shown on the next slide. S11 = reflection coefficient S21 = 1+S11 S22 = reflection coefficient (1+j0 for a diode) S12 = 1 + S22 (or in this case, for a diode, it is zero)

Measured 2-port S-parameters of your diode including the pads: filename is diode2pt.txt !BEGIN ACDATA # GHz S MA R 50.0 !% F n11x n11y n21x n21y n12x n12y n22x n22y 1.75 0.9683 -23.8255 1.9259 -11.7179 0 0 1.0000 0 2.0 0.9683 -29.8098 1.9021 -14.6593 0 0 1.0000 0 2.4 0.9521 -35.1478 1.8610 -17.1282 0 0 1.0000 0 2.6 0.9529 -35.7572 1.8586 -17.4327 0 0 1.0000 0 3.0 0.8956 -44.0234 1.7578 -20.7357 0 0 1.0000 0 !END Copy diode2pt.txt to the data folder in your current project directory.

Select Data Items Select 2-port S-parameters

You will get a 3-port picture of a diode You will get a 3-port picture of a diode. Add a ground to the extra port on the bottom

Next, we will add a capacitor with solder pads

Choose Lumped Element with artwork C_PAD1. Set size: C=100pF W=60mil S=20 mil L=80 mil

Add components as needed: (Explanations follow)

Diode and Capacitor Capacitor with layout artwork for solder pads, good for simulation and milling. A short length of line to drill for ground pin Your diode S-parameters will be here for simulation. For milling, you will need artwork instead…. Coming up.

Ground extra pin on diode package Diode Solder pads IF you use diode S-parameters from the HP website, you will need to add the solder pads (which add length of lines). Find the size of solder pads in the data sheets OR the diode artwork. (See layout slide # 27 below.) Do NOT add these pads if you are using measured data, because they are already part of the measurements. Pads for soldering your diode. Use 30x30 mils. This can be found from diode artwork (layout slide) to determine the size. Leave them OUT for simulation. Ground extra pin on diode package For simulation you would use this instead, direct to ground.

Physical connection of capacitor You will attach your DC voltmeter on this port. These pads are NOT needed for the simulation with measured S parameters. Leave them OFF until you put on the artwork for milling. You need them when you do the layout for milling. DC output line Long enough to get some separation between diode and cap (so they aren’t on top of eachother). Doesn’t matter much how long this is, as long as you account for it in the simulation, which is what you are doing here. 250 mils is good. Ground pad (in Circuit Cam you will need to drill a hole for milling).

Now: Simulate the circuit and find Z11 for both frequencies (2.4 and 2.6 GHz) Use Tline or Smith Chart to design a stub-matching network. Follow the single-stub tutorial from here to add a stub matching network to the front of your circuit.

For better matching See the diode detector handout. A 100-ohm line for the distance d between the diode and stub and a 50 ohm stub will usually give a better match. Simulate the circuit with stub to be sure your matching is good.

Layout: Everything is OK for the layout except for your diode. TO do this, we need to remove the S-parameter box and replace it with a diode with artwork.

Find HFDiodeLibrary Click on + Click on High Frequency Choose any SOT23 package For grounding the extra pin, the 88a is suggested.

Here is the diode with artwork Here is the diode with artwork. The hsms2850 diode we has the diode opposite those shown in the artwork. This is why you cannot accurately simulate when you are using artwork. This is for LAYOUT only.

Synchronize, and take to layout Synchronize, and take to layout. This is what it looks like without your matching circuit Ground for extra diode pin Diode Read VDC here Look here to find the size of diode solder pads for including in your simulation. Cap space Ground

Delete the diode from the picture to be milled, but remember what it looks like for soldering the diode. Be sure to add half the THRU plus your stub match here before milling

Remember to put holes for all the shorts (ground, short ckt. stubs, etc.) when you mill the circuit There may also be a short on your stub.

That’s it! You are done!
