• Setting up an instructional account. Please follow this link. You can use any tool of your choice to do the assignments. Hspice/Cadence is recommended for the initial assignments and Cadence/Microwave Office for the latter ones.
• How to run cadence.
• Al's demo on cadence.
• A quick tutorial on running spectre.
• An excellent guide to RF simulation.
• An overview of Periodic analysis (PSS, PAC, ...) using cadence (for latter assignments).
• Soldering Tips by Travis

• Matching network took at Agilent:

On the Agilent matching network webpage:

There is a link on "Play the impedance matching game". Here you can graphically tune several matching networks

Note: it is set up to match source impedance to load impedance rather than match the load to the source impedance. That means you start from the left hand side and move to the right. For example, in the first example you start by putting an inductor in series with the source and then a capacitor in shunt with the whole thing.
