Model Translation

The following section details translation information for GENESYS models to ADS.

Mapping Effects on Simulation Results

GENESYS and ADS are two distinct design environments with two distinct sets of models. During export, GENESYS models are mapped to the most similar ADS component. In most cases, the GENESYS model and the ADS component are quite similar and produce simulation results that are consistent between GENESYS and ADS. This is not always the case, though. There can be simulation differences between the GENESYS and ADS versions of a specific model. The biggest differences tend to be in transmission line discontinuity models and in SPECTRASYS models.

Mapping and Model Card/Instance Card differences

In ADS, to use a non linear device, users instantiate a model card and an instance card. The instance card references the model card. In GENESYS there is no such distinction. The parameters page for a component includes both instance and model parameters in one place.
