GaAs MESFET SPICE Model - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

I'm trying to simulate a circuit on ADS that works between 500MHz and 2500MHz. I decided to use a GaAs MESFET but I'm having some problems in finding an accurate model. Can anyone point me to where I can get accurate models (some examples of devices that I would like to find SPICE models for are CLY5, CLY10, or CLY15)? If these models are not available, how can I know the values to input in the MESFET model in ADS?

Hi Layla,

There are ususally 2 sources for that:

1. To ask the manufacturer for the SPICE model.
2. The data is available in the ADS or other simulation tool you are using.

Sometimes the SPICE model is not available as a file but as a list of parameters which you have to manually enter into the simulation tool. I have done that several times in the past with GaAs FET transistors which I used for design an RF predistortion circuit.

If you need more information, please let me know.

also in ADS a feature called netlist translator , u can convert the models of pspice , hspice , spectre to ADS model , it is very efficient
