TRF0208-SP: S-Parameter

Part Number: TRF0208-SP


Tool/software:

Hi,

Could you guide for the gain simulation?

When open S-parameter in Cadence AWR, it shows 4 port as below.

At below circuit, for gain simulation at 1231MHz(1118.75MHz ~ 1343.75MHz),

How does customer have to connect?

Thanks.

  • Hi there David,

    The port assignments can be seen in the comments in the top of the snp file by opening it with notepad.

    In this case, port 1 and port 3 are INP and INM respectively, and port 2 and 4 are OUTM and OUTP respectively.

    However, if the customer will be using in single ended to differential operation, there is a slightly better S-parameter file they can use, which includes the INM termination directly in the test fixture. This is available in the s3p file contained at the following URL www.ti.com/.../TRF0208-SP under "TRF0208 S-parameters model" (Yes i know its not labeled very well to differentiate S2D vs D2D).

    Thanks, and let me know if you have any more questions,
    Gideon
