AWR Announces Support for NMDG S-Functions in Microwave Office Software
European Microwave Week, Paris, France — September 29, 2010 —
AWR Corporation, the innovation leader in high-frequency
electronic design automation (EDA), today announced
Microwave Office® high-frequency design software now includes full support for S-functions, which are
nonlinear behavioral models developed by
NMDG NV of Belgium. AWR will be demonstrating S-functions within the Microwave Office design environment in
booth 84 at the European European Microwave Week Conference in Paris, France, from September 28 - 30.
S-functions are an extension of S-parameters from which all microwave components, circuits, and systems are
created and characterized. They extend these functions to nonlinear devices such as transistors, amplifiers,
prescalers, and mixers that must be characterized under large-signal conditions to be accurately characterized
under various signal and matching conditions. S-function can be used with vector network analyzers (VNAs) and
oscilloscopes, and in particular, are closely integrated with the VNAs from Rohde & Schwarz. When imported into
AWR’s Microwave Office software they can be used to speed the design and increase the accuracy of larger circuits
using actual measured data.
With today’s announcement of NMDG S-function support, Microwave Office software now supports multiple, emerging,
nonlinear behavioral models like Agilent’s X-parameters® and Mesuro's Cardiff model.
In addition to in
booth demonstrations of S-functions and other nonlinear models in Microwave Office software, AWR, NMDG, Focus
Microwaves and Rohde & Schwarz are hosting a free workshop Wednesday afternoon on the topic of S-functions, their
role in nonlinear modeling, fast nonlinear device characterization of power amplifier designs using VNAs, device
measurements in a non-50-ohm environment using multiple harmonics, as well as the use of “extended VNAs” to
provide real-time access to dynamic IV at multiple harmonics. Register to attend here:
