Mini-Circuits has worked with Modelithics to give you twenty-five new, high-accuracy substrate-scalable simulation models for its products. These models were developed for popular designs like the Mini Circuits LFCN low-pass and HFCN high-pass filter families as well as RCAT and YAT attenuators.
The partnership with Modelithics has expanded simulation capabilities for customers after the release of free X-Parameters-based models for selected Mini-Circuits amplifiers in July. The new filter and attenuator models are substrate-scalable and based on measurements accurately de-embedded to well-defined reference planes at the edge of the component, providing designers with a superior level of accuracy and design confidence. Filter models are validated up to 13 GHz, and attenuator models are validated up to 30 GHz, depending on the frequency specifications of each component as outlined in the information data sheet included with each model.
The free downloads are ready to use with Agilent ADS. Models for other simulators are available from Modelithics upon request. Customers can now download these free simulation models from the Mini-Circuits partner page on the Modelithics website: http://www.modelithics.com/mvpMiniCircuits.asp
