ADS Harmonic Balance tutorial for small signal amplifiers (revised 10/21/05) To download on Internet Explorer: right click > Save to Target Select All Files Save .zap is an archive file format
for ADS. You must uncompress it with the unarchive project command in the
ADS main window file menu. The browser may not know how to handle .zap files. The closest thing to a .zap file
is a .zip file so it tries to make an association. If you "right-click"
when doing a download on Internet Explorer > Save Target As then choose Save as type: All Files.
Then, my browser tries to save it as Tutorial#1.zap..zip. Of course, ADS has trouble with this.
So, edit the name removing the ..zip from the suffix. It should then work.
