Agilent Technologies Genesys 2007: RF- and microwave-design software automates documentation

The most recent version of Genesys RF- and microwave-design software features the LiveReport tool, automating documentation. LiveReport captures views of schematics, layouts, graphs, and equations in an interactive document and allows users to modify the schematics, markers, plots, and layouts from a dashboardlike interface. The LiveReport page prints at high resolution and provides a print-preview function. Users can also cut and paste data from the LiveReport page into Microsoft Windows applications. The software includes 17 nonlinear-device models targeting RF-power-amplifier design, microwave downconverters, and high-speed-analog- and wire-line applications. An improved phase noise in the harmonic-balance simulator and an enhanced Spectrasys predict the RF-system-noise effects of phase-locking local oscillators to a frequency reference. The Genesys 2007 upgrade is free to supported customers.
