4 Ways to Boost Simulation Data Processing Using Python
Python Webcast

Modern high frequency circuit simulation is becoming more complex and dealing with all the data that gets generated can be challenging. This webcast presents a straightforward and easy methodology for linking the powerful Python data processing environment to ADS. Practical examples illustrate the power and flexibility of this approach. No Python experience is necessary! Register now for Python webcast.

ADS Data Link Basics
ADS & PythonThere is a simple way to perform data processing of ADS data using Python. ADS can call a python script, pass in data, and get data back from Python. Registered users can use this app note to set up and get started with a data link between ADS and Python. The attached workspace will walk you through setup and basics of the data link.

Demystifying Vias in High-Speed PCB Designs
Signal Integrity Webcast

In PCB designs, vias are virtually everywhere and come in a wide variety of types - signal, ground, thermal, blind, etc. No matter how the vias are classified, it is important to note that they play an important role in the PCB.  This is especially true in high-speed designs. This webcast discusses the basics of high-speed PCB via design. Register now for the High-Speed PCB Designs webcast.

Characterizing and Modeling Switch Mode Power Supplies
Whether your power supply designs are based on switch mode or linear technology, there are many reasons why you should characterize the frequency response of your power supply designs. It will help understand a design’s stability and noise immunity under various load change conditions. You will get information required to create or improve a simulation model that operates under different design conditions, including worst-case tolerances. Register for SMPS webcast now.

High Q Power Harvesting Circuit Design
This white paper discusses efforts from Ericsson and the University of Freiburg to develop wireless power of a couple of hundred nanowatts at 1V to power a sensor node. The challenge was to satisfy the impedance matching requirement when the antenna, resonator, and matching components were connected to the nonlinear load of the pair of Schottky microwave detector diodes, used as rectifiers. The ADS Harmonic Balance simulator was used to design the impedance matching circuit.
