Hi Colin,

I run my transient simulation in Cadence environment. I have too many  
things to transfer to different environment, not to mention all the  
transistor level models that I am using.

The solution would be to generate a model that I can use in my Cadence  
env.

Please correct me if I am wrong, so the only solution that Agilent has  
to offer under this circumstances is the broadband spice generator.

Many thanks.
