Archived MET and Root LDMOS Models for Agilent's ADS v1.5.0601

The following LDMOS Model Library releases have been archived and are available only from this page.

When using these libraries be advised that Application Support is not available for archived versions of LDMOS Model Libraries.

This version of the LDMOS Model Library (1.5.0601 Release) is available for Agilent^® EEsof^®'s ADS^® v1.5 (UNIX and PC) nonlinear circuit simulator. The LDMOS Model Library is available for all major computer platforms.

MET and Root LDMOS Models

The Motorola Electro Thermal (MET) model for RF LDMOS transistors is a nonlinear model that for the first time examines both electrical and thermal phenomena and can account for dynamic self–heating effects of device performance. It is specifically tailored to model high power RF LDMOS transistors used in base station, HDTV digital broadcast, and land mobile radio applications. Implemented in the Agilent EEsof EDA Advanced Design System (ADS V1.5), the MET LDMOS model is capable of performing small–signal, large–signal, harmonic–balance, noise and transient simulations. Because of its ability to simulate self–heating effects, the MET model is more accurate than existing models, enabling circuit designers to predict prototype performance more accurately and reduce design cycle time.

For ADS users:

The MET LDMOS model is available as compiled object code for all major computer platforms. The object code is provided so your user defined models can easily be linked with ours to create a new Agilent EEsof ADS harmonic balance simulator. An Agilent ADS harmonic balance simulator executable and the object code is available for all major computer platforms including Microsoft^® Windows^® 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000 and Windows NT^® 4.0, Solaris^® 2.6 and HP-UX^® 10.2.

Note: The Root model is an Agilent EEsof's proprietary model. It is a table based model and does not account for self–heating effects. The Root model is available in Agilent EEsof's ADS only.

Agilent's ADS supports all major computing platforms including Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 2000 and Windows NT 4.0, Solaris 2.6 and HP–UX 10.2. The LDMOS Model Library is implemented in ADS by means of a custom palette.

This release of the MET LDMOS model is v1.5.0601. Refer to the MET LDMOS Known Problems file for more details on known limitations of the model.

Refer to the MET LDMOS Documentation pdf file for more details on the MET LDMOS model.

Refer to the LDMOS_Model_Library table to download all the necessary library files for ADS circuit simulators in the various platforms.

Refer to the LDMOS_Model_Validation table to download pdf files with large signal model validation plots and example ADS project file.
