Sys-Parameter library for RF simulation

Design Automation

20 April 2016 Design Automation Test & Measurement

Analog Devices announced the release of an extensive RF amplifier library of Sys-Parameter models for Keysight Technologies’ Genesys RF simulation and synthesis software. Analog Devices is one the first adopters of Sys-Parameter models, which provide the convenience of an electronic datasheet that can be simulated directly without the need for manual creation of data files and equations to use them.

Genesys is an easy-to-use RF and microwave simulation software tool that performs interactive budget analysis of modulated RF specs, such as error vector magnitude (EVM) and adjacent-channel power ratio (ACPR) performance for entire RF signal chains. This enables the easy selection and comparison of suitable components for RF applications.

Keysight Sys-Parameters are RF system component behavioural parameters, such as amplifier P1dB, IP3, gain, noise figure and VSWR, which describe non-linear and linear characteristics in a convenient spreadsheet format for use in simulation.

Analog Devices’ Sys-Parameter library of almost 100 RF amplifiers range from gain blocks to power amplifiers covering frequencies from DC to 86 GHz. These components serve applications such as wireless communications, test and measurement, and radar. RF system designers can quickly select off-the-shelf components and design RF signal chains accurately in one pass. The library is pre-installed in Release 2015.08 of Keysight Genesys.

Updated versions of the library will be

available for download from www.keysight.com and www.analog.com

Next-gen spectrometer at reduced costs and weight
Vepac Electronics Editor's Choice Test & Measurement
Traditionally, EPR spectroscopy requires massive electromagnets that can weigh over a ton, and therefore are often located in basements. Bridge12, located near Boston in the USA, has launched a next-generation EPR spectrometer that is about half the cost of current instruments and a tenth of the size and weight.
