Virtual simulation software is a necessary tool for teaching experiments of engineering subjects in universities. For complex experiments with strong research and involving many experimental equipment, virtual simulation software is a good support for experimental courses. Aiming at the series resonant circuit in the course of electrical and electronic basic experiments, this paper develops a new circuit design method using advanced design system (ADS) electromagnetic simulation software. Based on ADS, the calculation formulas of quality factor, resonance frequency and resonance bandwidth of radio-frequency RLC series resonance circuit can be demonstrated. The parameter analysis and an optimization of RLC series resonance circuit can be easily carried out. In conclusion, the proposed virtual simulation method is helpful to teach the working principle and experimental flow of RLC series resonant circuit, which can further improve the optimized design of RF circuits.
