 System-Level Analysis White Paper
Now Available from AWR(R)

Click to visit the Applied Wave Research websiteAWR VSS White PaperThe story: At microwave frequencies, circuits don't behave in a predictable way, so designers resort to "tweaking" circuits to obtain their ultimate performance. Although high-frequency design tools have dramatically reduced the need for tweaking, software tools for system-level analysis have taken longer to evolve. Consequently, designers typically use spreadsheets to perform this task, and they cannot account for effects that make or break a circuit once deployed in the field.

This white paper demonstrates how AWR's Visual System Simulator™ (VSS) software suite for design and optimization of communications systems offers a modern solution. It provides insight early in the design process into how a circuit, subsystem, or system will perform, when changes in component values and circuit configurations can be made easily to avoid design iterations. It can directly import existing spreadsheet data to simplify the transition and preserve a designer's efforts.
