ADS Layout and EM Simulation Training

全长两个半小时视频课程，原版英文讲解，一个半小时课程内容讲解，一个小时实际操作演示讲解。主要讲解和演示了ADS Layout相关设置和操作以及ADS Momentum电磁仿真的设计操作等内容。课程使用的软件版本为ADS2012，适合ADS2011之后各版本ADS软件的学习。

课程分3部分，每部分都对应有课程讲解和实验操作讲解，具体内容如下：

Part 1: Layout Basics

The first part covers how library technology is used with layout and the basic features of the ADS layout windows, drawing tools, LVS, and more. This topics and skills apply to both MMIC and RF Board Designers.

The Lab video demonstrates Settings and drawing tools in the layout window that apply to both board and MMIC designers. Its objectives is helping you to be able to set layout preferences and technology and use basic drawing features and commands for board or IC design. More details are as follows:

• •  Create a workspace and layout
• •  Examine technology and preferences
• •  Set up Hot Keys
• •  Generate a layout from schematics – use LVS
• •  Draw and edit shapes and components
• •  Properties, navigator, layers
• •  Creating a via with layer binding
• •  Use connectivity and other tools and more
• •  Create a clearance 
•  

Part 2: Basics of EM Simulation

The second part focuses no ADS Momentum. It covers the EM user interface, including basic substrate setup, layer, via mapping, simulation setup, and more.

This Lab video will cover all the basics of EM and simulation. It will also cover some use of the technology file, layout, ports, and other features of the EM setup requirements. More details are as follows:

• •  Create a workspace and layout
• •  Define materials in the Technology file
• •  Draw two lines with via to connect them
• •  Add a new substrate and map layers
• •  3D Preview Setup the EM simulation
• •  Define the ports and other settings
• •  View the data and current visualization
• •  Optional: meshing the look-alike component
•  

 Part 3: Layout and EM Techniques

This third part covers two topics: both details about Layout drawing and Momentum EM simulation, with an emphasis on techniques that you can use on your designs. There also are two labs for part 3. One for Layout and one for Momentum.

The details for layout Lab demo is as follows:

• •  Create a workspace and layout
• •  Build a fixed artwork capacitor
• •  Build an amplifier layout
• •  Identify component layers, pins, etc.
• •  Use Trace, Paths, Transmission Lines
• •  Use automatic via stitching
• •  Use DRC and create a schematic

The details for Momentum Lab demo is as follows:

• •  Create a new workspace
• •  Simulate a DemoKit inductor
• •  Copy a substrate and define thick metal
• •  Specify a mesh and use RF mode
• •  Create an emModel and look-alike symbol
• •  Compare circuit simulator results to EM
• •  Visualize the current
• •  Optional: FEM example
