The AWRDE Version 9.01 high-frequency design environment delivers more than 100 enhancements that increase productivity, including key new features to the company’s APLAC harmonic-balance engine, AXIEM 3D planar electromagnetic (EM) simulator, and new elements. The APLAC harmonic-balance engine increases simulation speed for microwave nonlinear circuits, especially when there are an equal number of linear and nonlinear models or more linear than nonlinear models. In addition, AXIEM now supports series ports, which enables designers to use the software to design two-port chip components.
New or enhanced elements include the addition of an XdB compression point control block that lets designers plot all nonlinear measurements from a given schematic at “x” dB into gain compression, and an arbitrary, user-specified bit sequence (V_ARBS) and pseudorandom bit sequence (V-PRBS) that are additional voltage sources available to the user.
