    Doubts Transistor
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on simulating a circuit involving the Panasonic 2SD2216 transistor in ADS software, specifically for audio signal amplification. The user is facing challenges due to the absence of the 2SD2216 model in the ADS library and is currently using a Q2N2222 transistor as a substitute by adjusting its Hfe value. There is uncertainty about the appropriateness of this substitution, as the 2SD2216 is a darlington transistor, unlike the Q2N2222. The user seeks guidance on whether other transistor models can be used with modified Hfe values and how to create a custom transistor model in ADS. Accurate modeling is crucial for effective circuit simulation and performance analysis.

Hello all,

I have been trying to simulate a circuitry involving a transistor for the microphone line. I believe it was used for amplication of the external audio signal (not too sure, maybe can share the circuit). I am using the ADS to simulate my circuit.

The problem I faced was the transistor model was not in my ADS library and the information I got now is the spec. The transistor is a BJT silicon NPN epitaxial planer type with Hfe = 210 - 340 gain. The p/n is 2SD2216 from panasonic.

I was using Q2N2222 transistor as a replacement by changing the Hfe value and I'm not sure whether I am doing the right thing.

My questions are
whether I can used other transistor model and change the Hfe to represent it?
How do I create my own transistor model in ADS software?

thanks in advance!

Sorry, there was a typo there. I was a 2SD2216 transistor.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
