Optenni Ltd. and Anritsu Corporation announce a
real-time link between
the Anritsu ShockLine family of Vector Network Analyzers and the Optenni Lab matching circuit optimization software.
The link enables an entirely novel workflow for the antenna designer, streaming the measured impedance data from the VNA
continuously to the matching circuit synthesis of Optenni Lab.
This novel workflow opens up new horizons for the design process, as the effect of physical modifications and tuning
of an antenna prototype can immediately be seen in the simulated total performance of the antenna through a synthesized
matching circuit. In a similar way, the link allows the designer to monitor the simulated total antenna performance when
the antenna is used under various operation conditions and physical environments, for example next to user's hand and head.
"This is the first time we see such a natural bridge between measurements and simulations. The novel design process fades
the boundary between the hardware and software domains, as one can consider Optenni Lab as a user interface for Anritsu
VNA measurements and Optenni Lab's matching circuit synthesis at the same time", commented Dr. Jussi Rahola, founder and
CEO of Optenni Ltd.
"We see Optenni Lab as a key software component in the antenna design process. With the new link to Anritsu products,
customers can adopt far more efficient workflows than before", said Mr. Konynenberg Aart, Vice President, Marketing, Network
Infrastructure Business Unit & Emerging Business Unit. "Especially the new ultra-compact ShockLine 1-port USB VNA MS46121A
(4 GHz and 6 GHz options) and Optenni Lab provide together an amazing platform for antenna design, something that has never
been seen before. We are pleased to partner with Optenni Ltd. to support this new way of designing antennas."
Availability
The link between Anritsu VNAs and Optenni Lab is available in Optenni Lab 3.2, to be released in October.
