If you are designing RF & Microwave components, you can now access Momentum 3D-Planar EM modeling technology from within Genesys. It is called Momentum GX and it is fully-integrated into Genesys, so you can co-simulate with Genesys Spectrasys and linear simulators to quickly and easily see the effects of your physical designs on spurs, mismatch, and more, right at the RF system level. Best of all, you can get a 20% discount off its already low price of $10K if you buy before October 31, 2007!

The main design concepts for amplifiers apply regardless of frequency and system requirements. And having well defined design procedure can ensure your amplifier designs success. Read Filling in the Gaps Between Theory and the Reality of Amplifier Design and learn how you can save time in fine tuning and optimizing amplifier performance.

Designers in countries representing a quarter of the world’s population are now able to use Genesys in their native language to perform routine RF and microwave design tasks more effectively. The new localization demonstrates our commitment to advance the popular Genesys software worldwide among traditional RF designers.

The local-language user interfaces for Genesys are available in Simplified Chinese (PRC),Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), Japanese, Korean, Russian and are free to supported customers. Download

Several vendors have created new component libraries for ADS using our library builder tool. Here are the newest additions:

• Samsung Electro-Mechanics - multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) components library. These MLCC components are useful for blocking DC and for by-passing/coupling in mobile communication designs.
• Thin Film Technology (TFT) - created two new ADS libraries for filters and equalizers. Both contain models that include layout footprints for all models.

There are over 40 vendors providing up-to-date dedicated libraries for ADS today. If you are ever in doubt about a component library, check our partner’s website.

With ADS 2006 Update 2, we’ve enhanced both of these mobile broadband wireless libraries.

• The updated 3GPP-LTE Wireless Library incorporates uplink receiver models for EVM and BER measurements used in UL simulations, and more.

• The updated Mobile WiMAX Wireless Library includes MIMO support and the inclusion of CTC - Convolution/Turbo Coding/decoding and system measurements with the CTC codec.

The models in each library can provide excellent algorithmic references for new designs allowing continued verification of IP development against “Golden Reference” models.

WIN Semiconductors released PHEMT(E+D mode) PD50-01 process kit that supports complete ADS front-to-back flow. This design kit supports ADS schematic, layout, DRC and includes microstrip lines, discontinuities, scalable capacitors, inductors and resistors, pads, vias and active devices (HEMTs) at multiple biases.

By 2008, 50% of all mobile phones offered by a manufacturer in the US must comply with HAC. The new release of our 3D EM antenna modeling software (AMDS) can now evaluate the hearing aid compatibility between Wireless Communication Devices and Hearing Aids. Our software complies to the IEEE American National Standard Methods of Measurement of Compatibility (ANSI C63.19-2006). Find out more
