ADS quirks

Updated November 21, 2005

Here we will put known quirks for Agilent's electronic analysis software product that we all know and love, in the hope that they will notice and fix them someday. Send in your suggestions!

1. Here's one from a student: "When building microstrip lines in schematics, the open circuit stub does not simulate capacitive end effects! You have to use a different part! (I can't remember what it is called.) No wonder my matching networks were off! Luckily I made them long and trimmed them to length."
2. When using markers on plots, how come they don't print out? Even when you use a H-P printer!!!
3. How come the "Line Calc" doesn't give you frequency response (as opposed to just a single frequency)?
