Placing Library Parts


Purpose
In order to work with the ADS zip package for Lab 3 under ADS 2011, you need install a compo-
nent library. The double-balanced mixer model needs a diode model, in particular a 1N4148
diode. This component can be found in the library Analog_Parts_vendor_kit.

Procedure
Step 1
Verify that you can access the root folder:
Agilent\ADS2011_10\oalibs\componentLib\
Inside this folder is where you will find zipped versions of component libraries:

Step 2
Unzip the library file of interest, in this case Analog_Parts_vendor_kit to your workspace working
folder, perhaps/typically $Home/hpeesof/.You get access to the unzipping capability via the

Drill into the folder that contains the now unzipped Parts Kit and click on the lib.def file

By clicking Open the library is now loaded into the workspace, and also will be available to new
Workspaces.

Placing Library Parts


To place library parts, say a 1N4148 diode, go to the Insert menu on an open schematic file:
