Agilent has announced shipment of the 2008.07 release of its Genesys integrated EDA software platform for self-supporting RF and microwave designers and workgroups. The new release contains improvements to the reliability of artwork masks for electromagnetic (EM) verification and RF board manufacturing, along with modelling and user interface improvements. This functionality results in shorter design cycles with fewer iterations for RF designers with tight deadlines and budgets.
The new release reliably exports RF board mask and artwork files to a wider set of board fabricators, inexpensive rapid-prototyping machines and a variety of CAD/CAM software for physical product design. It also includes a graphical artwork previewer and pre-production editor, allowing designers to inspect masks for layer alignment issues, short circuits or open circuits, and then make direct realtime adjustments with less guesswork. The underlying technology for reliable artwork exchange was adapted from Agilent’s ADS 2008 platform, and is included as a free upgrade to all supported users of Agilent Genesys.
In addition to direct board fabrication, the new artwork tools allow users to import drawings for EM verification using the Momentum GX planar-3D EM simulator. Artwork exchange for Genesys users is improved particularly for the DXF, DWG and Gerber formats.
