RFIC dynamic link setup

• Creat a virutoso with RFIC dynamic link start-up script, naming dylink (you may name it as you wish), and put it under <home directory>/bin

#!/bin/bash
###########################################
#setup the ADS RFIC dynamic link with Cadence Virtuoso

The above script works for the Linux server configurations dated 01/29/2013. If you system is configured differently, you will need to make the necessary changes.

• Add the following line to the .cdsinit file in the Cadence design directory:

load strcat(getShellEnvVar("HPEESOF_DIR") "/idf/config/.cdsinit")

• Check .bashrc file under your Cadence design directory if there is this sentence:

export PATH=$PATH:~/bin

If not, add it into .bashrc file.

• Type dylink in your Cadence design directory to start Cadence

Example of Cadence ADS Simulation Using Dynamic Link

After Cadence opens from the previous step, create a new cell view named nfet_rf (This can be anything or any name of your choice)
