    This document outlines the objectives and problems for Laboratory #1 of an RF and microwave circuits course. Students will use Advanced Design System (ADS) software to perform S-parameter analysis on various transmission line circuits at multiple frequencies between 0.5-3 GHz. They will analyze circuits including a single transmission line, line with short/open end, quarter wavelength transformer, and two matching circuits. For each problem, students are asked to simulate and plot S-parameters versus frequency and tune circuits to optimize matching performance.

    RF and microwave Circuits and Systems.

    Laboratory #1

    Objectives:
    To utilize Advanced Design System to perform S-Parameter analysis of numerous
    transmission line circuits.
    To learn the basics of S-Parameter simulation and display environments in ADS.

    To Utilize Motorola Impedance Matching Program (MIMP) to perform preliminary


    tuning of circuits and eventually use ADS to confirm MIMP tuning.

    Frequency selection for Lab 1:

    0.5GHz, 1.0GHz, 1.2 GHz, 1.4GHz, 1.6GHz, 1.8GHz, 2.0GHz, 2.2GHz, 2.4GHz,
    2.6GHz, 2.8GHz, 3.0GHz.

    For all of the simulations in Laboratory #1, use the following microstrip substrate:

    Er=3.5
    H=60 mils
    T=0.7 mils

    Be as detailed as possible in presenting the data from your simulations, namely place as
    many markers at critical points as possible.

    Problem #1

    Problem 1-A

    Create a 50 Ohm Transmission line having an electrical length of 90 degrees at your


    frequency using Linecalc. Note the dimensions and submit with your simulated data.

    Utilizing the S parameter simulation template, simulate your transmission line’s


    performance from 50Mhz to 3 times your frequency.

    -Plot the Insertion loss in –1dB/div increments


    -Plot the Return Loss in –2dB/div increments
    -Plot the Smith Chart, S11 and S22
    -Place markers in each of the plots

    Problem 1-B
    Eliminate Port 2 and replace it with a short circuit. And simulate from 50Mhz to your
    frequency.

    -Plot the Return Loss in –2dB/div increments


    -Plot the Smith Chart, S11 only. Place a marker at your frequency
    -Re simulate from 50Mhz to 2 times your frequency. Place a marker at the
    highest frequency and plot the S11 in smith chart form. What is the impedance now?
    Why? Comment on your plot.
    -Re simulate from 50Mhz to 3 times your frequency. Place a marker at the
    highest frequency and plot the S11 in Smith chart form. What is the impedance now?
    Why? Comment on your plot.

    Problem 1-C

    Repeat Problem 1-B with the end of your transmission line open instead of shorted.

    Problem #2

    Create a quarter wavelength transformer at your frequency matching a source impedance


    of 50 Ohms to a load impedance of 100 Ohms.

    -Simulate from 50Mhz to your frequency and plot both Smith Chart and Return Loss at –
    2dB/div scales
    -Simulate to 2 times your fundamental frequency and plot the same data
    -Simulate to 3 times your fundamental frequency and plot the same data
    -Using the tuning utility, adjust the impedance of your line and notice the change in the
    return loss. Plot this family of curves.

    Problem #3

    This is a two-step problem. First use the MIMP shareware software to match the
    following circuit at your frequency. Then verify your tuning circuit using ADS.
    Demonstrate the performance of your tuning circuit at your frequency by plotting the S11
    in Smith Chart and Return Loss form. Try to come up with a more optimal circuit that
    minimizes the return loss even more.

    Here is the circuit you must match.


    Problem #4

    Perform the same as in Problem #3 for the following Circuit.
