The Agilent Technologies 89600Series vector signal analyzer (VSA)facilitates faster and easiercommunication system design frominitial design simulation to finalhardware prototype. It offers 36 MHzbandwidth capacity for measuringsignals such as cellular and satellitecommunications, digital video, wirelessLAN (WLAN), and local multipointdistribution service (LMDS).Spectrum analyzers withdemodulation capability areuseful tools for highlighting anexisting problem. However, manyDSP or RF problems can create highadjacent channel power or poorlylocked constellations. With the89600 VSA’s sophisticated andunique error analysis tools, youcan actually determine the rootcauses of the problems.The 89600 Series VSA dynamicallylinks to Agilent’s Advanced DesignSystem (ADS), electronic designautomation software. This tightlinkage means you can use the 89600to evaluate simulated data andmeasurement results from hardware— providing you confidence in resultsbecause the same measurementalgorithms are used during simulationand test.Links to the...

Polar Instruments Si9000 is one of the most important tools for anyone working on high speed digital designs. The software is aimed at estimating trace impedance and can help simulate loss less trace impedance as well as analyse how trace impedance would change based on the frequency of interest. There are a number of built in PCB layer stack-up configurations available within the tool and all the user needs to do is to enter relevant data for a chosen stack-up and click the calculate button. The calculated database can be saved and retrieved at a later time, making it non-repetitive. Almost all possible trace configurations are built in along with a XFE option which enables hashing of ground planes. Possible...

µWave Wizard is a design tool using the well-known fast and accurate Mode-Matching technique. This method is particularly suitable for simulation and optimization of passive microwave systems and components, including antennas. The mode matching method (MM) and their derivatives (i.e. the fast hybrid MM/boundary contour and the MM/2D-finite-element method) is the only method capable of simultaneously offering fastest processing speed and highest accuracy. Mician’s software developers\’ secret for speed is to avoid the use of time consuming 3D solvers wherever possible and to focus on applying the Mode-Matching Technique and its derivatives instead, even on structures that at first glance seem to be suited for 3D solvers only. Yet, a 3D FEM solver on element level is available within the...

The Sonnet® Suites™ develop precise RF models (S-, Y-, Z-parameters or extracted SPICE model) for planar circuits and antennas. The software requires a physical description of your circuit (arbitrary layout and material properties for metal and dielectrics), and employs a rigorous Method-of-Moments EM analysis based on Maxwell\’s equations that includes all parasitic, cross-coupling, enclosure and package resonance effects. Sonnet maintains a single, dedicated focus on providing the industry\’s most accurate and reliable high frequency planar EM software. Our aim is to make it easy for our customers to either develop and analyze designs within our software, or to incorporate our tools into their existing design processes and frameworks. Customers need never commit to a proprietary framework in order to get...
