Using GFT Parts and Simulation Templates

There are 7 Simulation Templates that are used to extract the GFT properties.
GFT: Dual, coupled current/voltage injection
GFTE: Single voltage injection
GFTEE: Dual independent voltage injection
GFTJ: Single current injection
GFTJJ: Dual independent current injection
GFTS: Simplified GFT for loop gain, T, only
GFTTIME: GFTS for transient analysis.

These Simulation Templates are used in conjunction with the following 5 groups of
models that you will find in the part browser.
1. Loop Gain
2. Current Gain
3. Transadmittance
4. Transimpedance
5. Voltage Gain

The first group, Loop Gain, must be used with GFTS or GFTTIME. This simplified
analysis is used to measure the principal loop gain, T, only. Both GFTs and GFTt use the
same symbol. The arrow shows the direction of signal flow. A dual current/voltage
injection point is used and its reference node, w, is assumed to be the SPICE ground,
node 0. GFTs2 and GFTt2 also share the same symbol. The model for this symbol allows
the user to place the current/voltage injection reference node, w.

The Simulation Templates manipulate the models internally in order to configure the
different simulations and access the internal node voltages and branch currents, for
example v(xw:xgft) is the voltage from x to w. To accomplish this it is required that the
GFT part be named Xgft .

The following tables illustrate the appropriate combinations of models and templates for
the remaining 4 groups of models.
