January 15, 2012
NORWOOD, Mass.--( BUSINESS
WIRE)-- Analog Devices,
Inc. (ADI) today announced the release of a new version of its popular
ADIsimRF™ design tool. ADI’s ADIsimRF design tool is the software accompaniment
to ADI’s complete portfolio of RF-to-digital functional blocks, allowing
engineers to model RF signal chains using devices from across ADI’s
RF IC and data converter portfolio. ADIsimRF Version 1.6 adds support
for 29 new RF ICs and data converters as well as functional enhancements.
The ADIsimRF design tool provides calculations for the most important
parameters within an RF signal chain, including cascaded gain, noise
figure, IP3, P1dB, and total power consumption. The ADIsimRF tool also
contains embedded data from many of ADI’s RF ICs and data converters,
which designers can easily access using pull-down menus. Device tables
assist in component selection.
ADIsimRF Version 1.6 Key Features:
- Support for ADI’s newest high-performance RF ICs and data converters
- Additional input fields and system level calculations such as
input Rx sensitivity; integrated output noise floor in dBm and input
field for minimum SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) for demodulation
- Aspect ratio support of 1024 x 600 pixels to support lower resolution
PC displays such as netbooks
- File saving and loading support for European numerical formats
RF IC Portfolio Covers Entire RF Signal Chain Using a unique combination
of design skills, systems understanding and process technologies, Analog
Devices RF ICs and world-leading data converters cover the entire RF
signal chain and include industry-leading high-performance discrete
RF function blocks as well as highly-integrated multi-functional single-chip
RF solutions. These products are also supported by a wide range of free
design tools, evaluation boards and other design resources to ease the
development of RF systems. For more information, visit:

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
