Instance Statements

General Form:

type [ :name ] node1 ... nodeN [ [ param=value ] ... ]

type [ :name ] [ [ param=value] ... ]

Examples:

C:C1 2 3 C=10pf
HB:Distortion1 Freq=10GHz

The instance statement is used to define to the ADS Simulator the information unique to a particular instance of a device or an analysis. The instance statement consists of the instance type descriptor and an optional name preceded by a colon. If it is a device instance with terminals, the nodes to which the terminals of the instance are connected come next. Then the parameter fields for the instance are defined. The parameters can be in any order. The nodes, though, must appear in the same order as in the device or subcircuit definition.

The type field may contain either the ADS Simulator instance type name, or a user-supplied model or subcircuit name. The name can be any valid name, which means it must begin with a letter, can contain any number of letters and digits, must not contain any delimiters or non alphanumeric characters, and must not conflict with other names including node names.
