XML Data Files

• Attach XML Data files to any component. Characterize any parameter versus frequency and/or temperature. Data structure accommodates multiple definitions.
• S-Parameter files are now attachable to any component.
• Spline curves used to smooth data

New AGC Model

• 'Sequenced' model allows for staged gain across multiple control blocks

New Component Input parameters

• Input and output impedance can be defined for each component.
• Backoff in dB below OP1dB defined for each component.

New Output parameters

Parameter Expressions

• Each parameter can be related to other parameters within the same component through mathematical expressions. For instance, Psat can be defined as 3 dB above P1dB.

New Graph Features

• More extensive and flexible sweep definitions
• Rescale to define new graph extents

• Auto-Scaling

And More...

• Numerous features make the user interface better than ever for accomplishing simple and complex tasks.

• Project files are now saved in XML format giving software developers an easy path to reading and writing SysCalc files.

• Powerful reports can be attached to any system page: standard report, linearity report, graph report, yield report and link-budget report.
• AGC (Automatic Gain Control) block provides dynamic power control capability.
• Component parameters include NF (Noise Figure), Te (Effective Noise Temperature), Input or Output 1 dB Compression Point, 2nd Order Intercept Point (Input or Output), 3rd Order Intercept Point (Input or Output).
• Component parameters can have associated tolerance and temperature coefficient data.
• Build Library models for frequently used components.
