Agilent Technologies ships GENESYS 2006 RF and microwave design software

Agilent Technologies Inc. today announced the availability of GENESYS 2006, a new release of its popular RF and microwave design software in Agilent’s Eagleware product line. The release includes improvements to simulation, tuning, optimization and integration through file-format export. The improvements help boost designers’ confidence in circuit performance and speed the communications-design process.

“We’re pleased to be shipping this high-performance and high-quality release,” said Frank Vincze, product manager with Agilent’s EEsof EDA division. “Early feedback from customers indicates we’ve hit the right balance of performance and technology that can cut development time and reduce or eliminate design turns.”

Improvements and new features of Agilent’s GENESYS 2006 release include:

  • Improved performance: Faster and more accurate simulation, tuning and optimization
  • New statistical yield analyses: Save and compare iterative results
  • Improved intermediate file format (IFF) interface: Smoother export of GENESYS models into Agilent’s industry-leading Advanced Design System (ADS) for more advanced simulations that get you closer to design implementation
  • Expanded support for mixer spur tables in WhatIF: Use hardware-measured mixer models, with their range of frequency responses, to define operating frequencies
  • Integrated ADS licensing: A common licensing protocol between GENESYS and ADS eliminates the need for a physical hardware key

GENESYS is an integrated and easy-to-use software suite with leading price performance for use in Windows PC environments. It supports a full range of communications design, from algorithms to artwork. GENESYS circuit-design software is used to develop products such as cellular telephones, radar systems, cable TV systems, satellite systems, mobile base-station equipment, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices and wireless networking products. GENESYS also is used in high-frequency applications such as system-architecture design and analysis, linear simulation, non-linear and electromagnetic simulation, synthesis, and RF-board and microwave-IC layout.
