Abstract :
This papers shows a way of using the ADVance MS environment to simulate a low noise amplifier (LNA) and compare these simulations with high (behavioral and block) level models. This work is the first step in the development of a global system modeling and simulation platform. For the LNA study, we chose a top-down approach although a bottom-up approach would also be possible in the same environment.
